Pick Unknown 10 Ringgit Low Numbers 0000520 Malaysia Uncirculated



 A 10 Ringgit banknote from Malaysia with the slightly low but not extremely low numbers of 0000520 but in extremely Gem Uncirculated pristine condition, firm with fantastic sheen, without doubt, a perfect candidate of PMG's Sheldon Scale of 70*!

Numberwise, nothing to shout or gloat about as it's not that low as in the world of low numbers, it should be as low as possible, ideally with only a single digit as number and with the rest being zeroes.

Furthermore, number 520 has no significance, unlike say 888, which has huge significance in the properity mindset  of the folks in the Far East!

Pick Unknown 5 Ringgit Polymer Banknote Low Numbers 0000520 Uncirculated Malaysia



 A 5 Ringgit Polymer banknote from Malaysia with a rather attractive eye-appealing green color, bearing the rather low numbers of 0000520, not extremely low serial numbers actually, ideally, it should have 6 zeroes.

As such, it's not truly 101% bearing a truly low serial numbers & neither does it carry an attractive low serial number as after all, the number 520 is rather huge, not to mention its unattractiveness and without any special hidden meaning.

It bears the obvious stylish signature of the previous Governor. Of course, to stay en vogue, we are looking for similar banknote bearing the current Governor.

Pick Unknown AA 1234567 20 Ringgit Ascending Serial Numbers Uncirculated



 A 20 Ringgit banknote quite recently issued with the so-called ALMOST ascending serial numbers of 1234557, but bearing the all-important pivotal First Prefix of AA.

Apparently, for very serious numismatists in Malaysia, the prefix of AA is something of great significance as apparently it comes only once in 2 decades when the design of the banknote is changed.

As such, I am extremely interested to acquire the big brother of this note, yes, the proper & legit ascending serial numbers of AA1234567.

Any Good Samaritan out there in the wide cyber world who knows which good soul is in possession of this banknote as wallet-willing, I would like to acquire it to fill up the many empty slots in my numismatic album?!

((Contact me with contact numbers for the above banknote or any other banknotes that you would like to to dispose off, tqvm)).

Pick 26 1000 Ringgit Banknote Used Circulated Malaysia



 A very obvious discontinued 1000 Ringgit banknote that used to be regularly used in the 80s.

Obviously just another ordinary piece of banknote as usual & conditionwise is just About VF or perhaps, Almost VF, almost but not yet VF there yet.

So many folds present therein, not forgetting grime & dirt from years of circulation, but finally preserved from further circulation by ma grandpa who slipped it at the bottom of his wardrobe & thereafter, forgotten about it & only discovered after his departure to the other side of this world.

Am looking to purchase more of this 1000 Ringgit denomination banknote or even those in 500 Ringgit denomination & if you folks do have any, do contact me via email with your contact/phone number.

FB 1111111 Solid Numbers 50 Ringgit Uncirculated PMG 66 Malaysia


A 50 Ringgit note from Malaysia with the Solid Number of 1111111 bearing the very ordinary prefix of FB, & lowly graded at PMG 66.

With the current trend of getting the ever superlative grades of PMG 68 or 69 even 70 or best till, even 70*, PMG 66 is considered exceptionally (Yes, pun intended) lowly as per the numismatically inmmortal Sheldon Scale.

Where are the rest of the Solid Number notes of 2222222 up 9999999?

I am extremely interested to buy them to complete this Solid Number set, since I already have this first  & only miserable piece.

((Fellow collectors, dealers, big and/or small, I , hereby, do implore you to contact me if you have these notes or even other Malaysian or Malayan notes for sale. 

Please do not forget to leave your contact numbers because many numismatists who wrote in these 2 months but without having left any contact numbers, as such replies were not possible)).

Cheers!

P Unlisted 2018 RM10 ZD Replacement Muhd Ibrahim Malaysia Rare!


A special feature about modern Malaysian banknotes is that no matter how short or long the tenure of the Governor was, there will be surely an issue which will be scarce as due to whatever reason, it's issued quantity will be of a limited quantity.

According to the grapevine, this ZD Replacement is a scarce issue due to its limited quantity issued as apparently it only came from several prefixes while other subsequent prefixes already contain the much more common ZE Prefix & according to the same grapevine, as such it's moot to delve into the hypothesis whether the ZD Prefix might come out in containers' quantities.

There sure must be some truth in that as indeed this ZD as per signed by this Governor is not often sighted and it's quite hard to find it running numbers.

Malaysia P.46 10 Ringgit Number 1 to 10 Uncirculated

10 Consecutive Pieces of the 10 Ringgit Malaysian note catalogued as P46 by Pick, bearing numbers 1 to 10 & the Prefix of PM.
These are not really scarce pieces of numismatic papers as lots of these have been surfacing all these while & one can see them popping up often in auctions as well as moneyshows.
Some good folks have indicated that the prefix of PM is rather unusual & but what is so special about this prefix of PM as at most, PM stands for 'Private Message', that's all.
Anyway, this set had already been long consigned for auction and hopefully, it will/can be sold, & as such, don't PM to enquire if it is still/for sale.

P/s If they can't be sold, then, they will be sent to PCGS, to be duly encapsulated, authenticated & graded & thereafter, will be marketed via private auction again.

Malaysia P.33A 500 Ringgit 1995 Ahmad Don PMG AUNC 58

2 Running pieces of the 500 Malaysian Ringgit note catalogued as P.33A, issued in the mid & towards the late 90s, but unfortunately, this is just an ordinary issue as the quantity issued was rather huge & even its serial numbers is kind of huge, not with many zeroes which signify the low quantity printed.
As this 500 deno has long been demonetised, some folks are getting sentimental to this piece of numismatic paper & for the younger folks who were not even born then, these are something they do not know even existed.
This is not a rare issue. 
However, me too have got into the world of sentimentalism & as such, I would like to buy a few pieces of this issue so that my grandkids would not only know such a big deno existed but also know how it actually looks like.
Do contact me if you have this 500 Ringgit note with you & if you wish to sell it. Please don't exchange them at your local money changer!

2018 Pick Unlisted RM5 Polymer First Prefix & Low Numbers BL Malaysia


3 pieces of the 5 Ringgit Polymer note with the First Prefix of BL & the rather low numbers of BL 0000222,333 & 777, duly authenticated & graded by PMG, but still Unlisted as per Pick. Wonder what will be the last prefix as the Governor who signed on these 3 pieces is now no longer the Governor? Also, wonder if these 3 pieces will be valuable or otherwise? Maybe, some Malaysian numismatics experts out there could shed a little bit of their expert light on this.
There have been queries from readers as to items featured herein are for sale or otherwise?
Yes, they are indeed for sale.
Any enquiries do send to: Malayapapermoney@gmail.com

P43d 50 Ringgit Solid Numbers JJ3333333 Malaysia

A one year hiatus in far flung Timbuktu mining salt is not what every ordinary mortal could do but lookee, it has been done but of course, it's no cause for extreme gloating, but there's no harm for some slight gloatable laughs.

A 50 Ringgit banknote with the rather gloatable Solid Numbers of 3 & the double prefix of JJ & this note has made itself way back all the way from the very buoyant numismatic scene in Timbuktu.

Is this a so-called Super Solid banknote that some 'experts' have labelled such notes as such? Is this a gloatable banknote worth having a slot in one's cramped album? Yours truly the evergreen neophyte would be glad for some learned enlightenment from the learned gentle folks out there!

But what is sure gloatable is that it has been properly & professionally graded as a 68 out of a max score of 70 by none other than highly respected American numismatics experts, PCGS Currency.

How many 11th Series Malaysian 50 Ringgit Solid Numbers banknotes have been graded as 68, how many??? 68 is already almost perfect 10, yes, a Bo Dereklike perfect 10 & as such, there is cause for a numismatic gloat if one so desires to gloat...

P 23 1940 One Dollar Sarawak PMG EF 45

An obsolete but rather important piece of Malaysian numismatic paper carrying only a lowly fair value of One Dollar issued way, way back in 1940, but still having its rather unique eye-appeal of striking conifer-green hue dominating its surface in entirety.

To those who are experts in the numismatic papers issued by the nation of Sarawak just prior to World War 2, they would know that 1940 is a key-date, esp. to the one bearing a face value of $1.

But of course, according to many, many serious collectors, who these days call themselves the so-called numismatists, the key date to this $1 issue is actually the one issued in 1935. Maybe, they could be true as after all what they might lack in knowledge, they could make it up in numbers & who is one to say one party is right & the other one is wrong. Such a discussion should be left for another different time on another different day, perhaps.....

P 49a 2007 50 Ringgit Low Numbers AA 0000013 PMG Superb Gem UNC 67 EPQ


A commemorative Malaysian 50 Ringgit numismatic paper that left the printers about 10 short years ago that has been making waves thereafter, purportedly due to its so-called "low mintage" by the all learned collectors, as after all, all if not all of the numismatic collectors are very smart and highly intelligent folks, who normally buy very low and more often than not, sell or rather sold the highest.

Of course the numismatic junk that's featured today is not of a gloatable material as all Smart Alecs know so well, 13 is not a good number; this number ain't gonna bring no lots of luck or prosperity for its associated with that particular Friday of that particular month.

Of course, the ever reliable grapevine has it that some small-time collector living in a rather remote hamlet has the all desired sassy, hottie AA0000001 piece, but apparently she doesn't want to sell despite an offer of 100 hundred thousand Yankee Dollars being dangled in front of her as she prefers to hand it down to her great grand-daughter. Not a bad idea as it could be worth a million dreamy bucks by then, perhaps....

P.23 1983 Malaysia WA Replacement 50 Ringgit Rather Rare PMG Uncirculated 65 EPQ

Not sure if it's true or not but according to a self-anointed numismatic sifu, this Replacement issue is a rather rare piece in such a condition, namely, in an uncirculated condition, regardless if it has been graded 63 or 64 or 65 or sixty what by respected third party grader, PMG.

The  above could very, very true as according to the well-referred PMG's Population Report, only 63 pieces have been graded so far & the highest of which, is 66. None graded at 67, 68, 69 or even the very desired & the all superlative PMG 70.

And apparently, according to this sifu, most of this Replacement are in so & so sub-standard condition & in fact, it's hard to get one in UNC Condition, according to him still.

Such talk cannot be dismissed & could very well hold water as one cannot see any piece with PMG 65 or even 66 on sale on any internet platform currently. Perhaps, only in a big, grand yearly auction like Spink could one see one of such nice grade being put up for sale.

P.55 BG Last Prefix 100 Ringgit Note Malaysia

Pursuant to a post made on the 6th day of February recently, it was mentioned here that the so-called Last Prefix for this RM100 deno Series is the prefix of BE, but it is now being solemnly & gloomily hereby announced that actually events have superceded the prefix BE & BE is not indeed not the Last Prefix as per therein mentioned.

A very, very Good Numismatic Samaritan has kindly pointed out that the Last Prefix for this P.55 100 Ringgit deno is actually the Prefix of BG & apparently this Prefix of BG is currently much sought after as it closes the book for the RM100 deno series sozusagen.

And the usually unreliable grapevine has it that so-called very serious numismatists are willing to pay 50% more than the face value for this BG prefixed note for their collections. This could be true as very few UNC pieces have been so far found.

Could it be that the BG is not completed printed in its entirety & the consequences of which is its scarcity in the fabulous & fantastic world of numismatics?

And could it be BG is indeed the true-blue Real McCoy Last Prefix for the RM100 deno or could there be other prefixes so far yet to discovered? For the non-paranoid, it's a safe bet that BG is indeed the last of the last of the prefixes for the RM100 deno, indeed........

P.55 BE Last Prefix 100 Ringgit Malaysia


With regards to the current non-stop speculation about the respective Last Prefixes of the current Malaysian banknotes, apparently, grapevine has confirmed strongly that the Last Prefix for the RM100 series is none other than the Prefix of BE.

In fact, many numismatic dealers in Kuala Lumpur are already hoarding these BE notes as they know they will be very valuable in the foreseeable future as the Last Prefix always carries a hefty premium as far as Malaysian banknotes are concerned.

No wonder, it's so freaking hard to even find a piece of this RM100 BE prefixed banknote as news travels fast & the BE notes are being hoarded by these intellectual numismatics dealers who are now only always in the know but who also have very, very deep pockets.....

P.39 One Ringgit 10 Millionth Note 10,000,000 Malaysia PMG 68 EPQ



It's certainly nothing but pure wonkish hogwash to say that esteemed & leading third party numismatic paper grader, PMG, does not grade Malaysian banknotes bearing the 10 Millionth Serial Number.

That's not true as can be hereinattested as 2 copies of such notes with 2 different fonts have been very, very recently properly & professionally graded by PMG, with one piece even given a pedestal-high grade of PMG 68, which is a sky-high score for a 10 millionth note of this series, certainly an ONLY piece with such a score & most certainly will remain so until the end of time.

The second piece with a different font variety also was professionally & properly checked & graded by PMG & was given a rather respectable score of PMG 66 & there's no shame in getting a 66 score certainly as it's not every Sunday that one gets a 68 score & of course, when one gets a 68 score or higher, there's no shame to indulge in some self-gloating as after all, there's a cause to indulge, there's a cause to gloat.

A picture paints a thousand words, so a famous chap once said & the duly PMG graded notes here proof that Malaysian 1 Ringgit notes from the P.39 series with the serial numbers of 10,000,000 are gradeable by PMG and as such, don't hesitate to send such similar banknotes to be graded & in one shot to be for posterity encapsulated so that such notes can be for posterity protected in PMG's high quality Mylar encapsulation.

P.3a 1967 10 Ringgit Malaysia PMG 68 EPQ

An almost 50-year-old obsolete numismatic paper but still virginlike, fresh from the press with bright, striking hues & immaculate preservation thru all these years & deservingly graded by esteemed Third Party Grader, PMG, as PMG 68 EPQ, just 3 marks away from a Bo Derek-like perfect score of Perfect 10.

With a score of PMG 68, it sits at the top of he Population Report unchallenged for this issue & it's very doubtful if there will be another from this same series being graded higher as it's doubtful that another similar note could have been so well preserved for so long.

3 long bows to that old chap who has kept this numismatic paper so well preserved through all these donkey years....

P.35 1995 5 Ringgit NZ Replacement Malaysia PMG 67

A 5 Ringgit Replacement with the Prefix of NZ which has been deservingly authenticated & graded by world renown independent 3rd party obsolete papermoney grader, PMG, with a rather respectable score of PMG 67, which is just 3 points away from the perfect 10 score of PMG 70.

However, this obsolete numismatic paper was the one very commonly printed by Thomas De La Rue as there is another similar note but which was printed by Canadian Banknote Co, which is actually the all-desired very much sought-after one as this is the scarce one as this is the only obsolete Malaysian numismatic papermoney printed by a Canadian printer & as such, it's very rare as far the printer is concerned.....

P.15a 1981 10 Ringgit Malaysia PMG 68 EPQ

A 10 Ringgit banknote issued way, way back 35 years ago but in excellent, pristine & virgin-like condition, very fresh from the printer-like, with vibrant red hue & snow-white-like white borders.

But sadly, it only got a grade of PMG 68 even though conditionwise, it looks virgin-like, untouched & unsoiled & smells like the yet unsmelled just bloomed roses & everyone & anyone who have seen this note agree that it truly deserves a PMG 70 score & if there were to be a PMG 80 score, it truly do deserves that very superlative score as this is truly a Bo Derek-like Perfect 10 hottie banknote....

P34A 1995 1000 Ringgit ZY Last Prefix Malaysia



These are the common 1000 Ringgit notes issued in the 90s & signed by the previous, previous Governor & these bear the Last Prefix of ZY.

In all, this series had 3 Prefixes issued altogether, which is the most compared to other earlier 1000 Ringgit issues, & the Prefixes issued were ZA, ZB & ZY & of course, ZA was the all-important & desired First Prefix & which is commanding the highest price in the obsolete papermoney world.

ZA is always the highly desired & chosen one as it's the First Prefix of all Prefixes and most discerning self-anointed Malaysian numismatists would want the First Prefixed notes in their albums while not giving any hoot to the 2nd or Last Prefixes cos everyone seems to want to be first in life, so it seems.

Of course, these 1000 Ringgit bills have long since been demonetized and it's also good that this was done as it rather cumbersome to go shopping or for an outing carrying these big deno notes as it's ludicrous to pay for a cup of coffee using such a note as you would most probably be effed off for having done so.
