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.

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!

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.

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.9 1972 10 Ringgit Solid Number 222222 Malaysia

It's rather unfortunate that this banknote doesn't bear the all desirable & prosperity desired & flavored serial numbers of 888888 & the PMG score of 68 & above that so many self-anointed numismatics purists would have wanted.

So, as such & without any shadow of a doubt & as sure as the sun would rise in the east, this note is not worthy of any gloating rights nor does it deserve any numismatic limelight anywhere, anyhow.

With a Solid Number of neither here nor there & from an insignificant 2nd Series release & to make matters a bit worse, it only got a PMG score of a lowly 65 instead of at least a 68, or even a 69 or best of all a 70, that all numismatic purists would only embrace, this banknote is of no importance to the numismatics scene not can it command a handsome price in the hollywoodian-like numismatic market as most collectors today only desire a banknote graded as PMG 70 preferably, even if that particular banknote is just an ordinary one that you would normally find in your girlfriend's wallet.

P46 2011 Malaysia 10 Ringgit Solid NUmber 4444444 PMG 68

A piece of old 10 Ringgit note from Malaysia with the very prosperous & fortune-bringing very solid Solid Numbers of 4444444, the number that everyone wants numismatically & which, world renowned banknotes grader, PMG, has seen fit to grade it as PMG 68, which of course, is 2 points offcourse from the numismatically orgasmic apex score of 70.

Of course, this Perfect 10 shaped note should have got PMG 70 but PMG is a very conservative when it comes to grading & conservative in this aspect means quality, standard, credibility & respectibility & those are things no papermoney can buy.

P46 2011 10 Ringgit Ladder 1234567 Malaysia PMG 68

A 10 Ringgit Malaysian banknote that has been professionally & properly graded by PMG with the score of 68, a score that's not gloatable obviously as only a score of 70 is worth gloating about in the perfect & immaculate world of numismatics, which means not 3rd best, not 2nd best but the best of the best.

Many notes have already got the score of PMG 70 these days if one cares to google & find out & even some which have been graded 70 are from Malaysia, which is not surprising, considering the high standard as well as perfect quality control all Malaysian notes undergo. Of course, the now superlative score to achieve would be PMG 70++.

Malaysia 1 & 100 Ringgit Solid NO.9999999

2 pieces of the RM1 & RM100 Malaysian note from 2 different series but with the same prefix & number & of course, this is of no cause to shout about as with the hundreds of prefixes printed, there could be thousands of such sets available.

And Solid number 9 is not too a desirable number as number 8 is the one that everyone wants & if the devil is your best friend, solid 6 could be a desirable number & of course, there is an elite group of numismatists who only collect solid 4. Another group of numismatists only want to collect solid 0 apparently if the strong gyrations of the numismatic grapevine is to be believed.

2012 1 Ringgit Polymer Solid 8888888 Malaysia

This is a truly perfect 10 note, very sharp corners in extreme, flat as an airfield & made of externally lasting polymer but forlorn to say, it only managed a score of 64 from the respected numismatics experts from PMG.

However, to be fair, those folks in Sarasota, Florida, know more than most of us as far as grading is concerned & as such, when they give us a 64 even though the subject banknote looks like it deserves to get a 69 or even a 70, there must be a reason, a real solid reason.

We pay them & we should not be questioning them thereafter as that's what objectivity is all about & as said, they are the experts & that's why we pay them & as such, we should not & must not question the grades given, even if such grades seem a bit disappointing to us. 

Anyway, perhaps, the only consolation could be the fact the market price for such Solid 8888888 notes have actually tanked, as can be seen during the recent local auctions whereby Solid 8888888 1 Ringgit notes were affordably priced, whereby even a housewife can buy one or even several pieces if she wants to.

And instead, banknotes with so-called Ladder Numbers of 1234567 & Reverse Ladder ones commanded very hefty premiums. As such, it's time for everyone under the numismatic sun to get into the Ladder Numbers world as it's finally discovered by the local so-called 'numismatists.'

P44 100 Ringgit Solid Numbers 8888888 Malaysia

And of course, this rather common banknote as catalogued as P44 according to Pick is all too common but with a rather not-so-common serial numbers of 8888888 and which should please a certain particular segment of the population in the Far East as such a number could finally bring them the ass-luck that they have been waiting for all this while.

And during a recent much hyped numismatic discussion among the great Malaysian numismatic Sifus (yes, that's a capital 'S', mind you) that took place with all the numismatic hoi polloi, the topic of 'prosperous' serial numbers of banknotes was broached & Solid 8 did obtain a solid two-thirds majority consensus among all those present that it indeed is a number most commonly desired in the affluent bon chic bon genre world of numismatics & reliably & apparently, there is a very young but rich collector who is looking for this P44 note with the Last Prefix bearing the Solid 8 Serial Numbers & of course, the concerned banknote is DC 8888888 & apparently, this collector has a very, very, very deep pocket and would pay anything if any big time dealer(d) out there could get hold of this note for him.

P49 Year 2012 50 Ringgit AAA 0000015 Malaysia

A 50 Ringgit note with an unusual triple-alphabeted Prefix of AAA but with a rather ordinary serial numbers of 0000015, which is a NO, NO, NO numismatically, cos in the world of numismatikspeak, folks would prefer serial numbers like 0000008 or even 0000018 or 0008888 or better still, the rock solid 8888888 after all, these are the type of numbers which are en vogue among many so-called numismatists....

But of course, at times or rather, at most times, we have to make the best of everything, eg, if you are not a millionaire (yet), just make the best of life and live and let live, but, once you are a billionaire, ya, go ahead and get your Gulfstream, get a unit at the Trump Towers and yes, go ahead and get a third wife & why not?!

5 Ringgit Polymer AA 9999991 Malaysia

The 5 Ringgit banknote bearing the Serial Numbers of AA 9999999 was auctioned off by the Central Bank earlier this year for 15 Malaysian grand & with Buyer's Premium, of course, the total sum is more but why would the buyer care as according to each & every single numismatic masters or rather, Sifus, as we call them here, this is a rather, yes, rather, rare note, as it carries the, as usual, all-desired First Prefix of AA, which comes once in a blue moon as this banknote design must be in use for many donkey years to come, & also the last serial numbers of 9999999, meaning it's the last note.

Of course, the note as featured here is nothing to gloat about as after all, it's almost but unfortunately, not fully a Solid 9 & that's no use, not only in the world of numismatics, but also in many other things in life, eg, it's no use if your lottery ticket misses the first prize by just half a digit as you are going to remain as dirt poor as you are!

But the trillion dollar question here will be is if AA Solid 9 is as they claimed, though still unverifiable, is rare, is of great significance, would this so-called rarity or great significance be nullified if AA 10000000 exists as then, this note would have superseded AA 9999999 by becoming the all so desired last banknote of this series from the very all-desired First Prefix of AA?

Polymer 5 Ringgit Solid Number 1111111 PMG 66 Malaysia

Just another ordinary plastic banknote, only thing is that it's has been professionally & independently graded with a score of 66 & that's what makes it ordinary cos 66 is no cause to gloat-about as it's a norm these days to get grades of PMG 69 & PMG 70 & that too for papermoney & normally, plastic notes are usually 100% perfect, with extremely sharp corners & should be without doubt perfect candidates for perfect PMG 70 score, but, alas, this note, a plastic note, only managed to score a score of a mediocre PMG 66 & with such a lowly score, it's nothing but a black sheep in one's collection.

And to add more insult to an already aggravated injury, the Serial Number is not that of the highly coveted & ultra desired 8888888 as Solid Number 1111111 is not a number that the silent majority of collectors want as most want the all-coveted prosperity laden 8888888 as 8 means money, richness, fame & all that lead to a Hollywoodian lifestyle.

Also, the Prefix of DD is no blessing in disguise for any positive vibes cos DD are equal to 44 & that stands for 'Death' to some folks in this world & that means a double dose of death to some folks in some parts of this world. If the genie in the bottle could grant a wish, then, changing the Prefix of DD to HH would be the desired wish as HH represents 88, which means the instant flow of wealth, money, fame & the eternal Hollywoodian lifestyle.........

1998 Uncut Commonwealth Games Polymer Notes Malaysia

This is of course the 3-piece Uncut $50 Polymer note issued 20 years ago to commemorate the hosting of the Commonwealth Games by Malaysia.

Even after the rather long passage of almost 20 solid years, there has not been much appreciation pricewise of this commemorative polymer issue due to its rather higher mintage/issue & even today, one can still buy a piece of this polymer note online or offline for just less than RM100 & it was issued at RM80, then, so you would have made more money by putting your RM80 under your pillow.

And since a normal piece of this note is just going for a miserable less than RM100, you don't need a Post Graduate student to tell you that the value of this 3-piece Uncut should be just around RM300, which is not even 100 Yankee Dollars. As this is not a rare note or something worth wasting a scream for, & pointless to collect, this note has been sold this morning to a big-time dealer at the Petaling Street Flea Market for just around more or less 100 Yankee Dollars, which is considered a rather good price for such a non-collectible.

12 Not Running Pieces RM1 Solid 8888888 Malaysia Almost AUNC

Numismatic collectors in nearby Hong Kong give priority to banknotes bearing the Solid Numbers of 8888888 as these are apparently, but not yet scientifically proven, prosperous numbers which will, also yet to be, until now, scientifically proven, bring immense prosperity to its owner or even it's co-owner and/or his entire family tree and/or clan.

But in all honesty, as far as these notes from the Malaysian 11th series are concerned, is it worth all the gloat, or even crowing or even shouting or trumpeting as you don't really need to get an 'A' from Further Mathematics in your GCE 'A' Levels to know that there's hell of a farking lot of these Solid 8s from the entire series starting from the Prefix of AA to YZ & from AAA to AGP, & most probably, there could be 800 pieces or more. 800 pieces is hell of a farking lot in the numismatic world, if you care to consult all those well-known numismatic sifus.

As such, paying a bomb for such prosperity-bringing notes is nothing but self delusion. In fact, it would be better to collect Reverse-Go-Astern or rather, Reverse Ladder Numbers, ie, 7654321, as this one is much lesser in the market & as such, more likely to bring its owner profused prosperity & wealth.........

ZD 8888888 RM10 Solid Number PMG 66 Malaysia

This is the extremely common Malaysian Replacement from the 11th series & why is it extremely common is a question not worth dignifying as after all, if one were to refer to a copy of the Malaysian numismatic catalogue, this Replacement is being tagged a price of approximately RM30 a piece & of course, when one wants to buy anything numismatic, one MUST refer to the catalogue as that's what the catalogue is for cos it's not a comic book to be read & cast aside but something that one must constantly carry along as it's a point of reference or to aptly put it, it's a bible of the numismatic universe.

Of course, if you were a master haggler & you can buy stuff below the recommended catalogue prices, then, of course, you can call humbly call yourself a master negotiator for a job well done vide your various successful purchases below the catalogue price(s).

At the same time, the so-called recommended price for a Solid Number 8 from the the Malaysian 11th series for this deno is more or less RM2 grand apparently, a small sum to some but could be a princely sum to many others & as such, this banknote is, perhaps, just worth around, maybe, if we add up the price of the normal Replacement ZD & the equivalent Solid Number of 8, you don't need a degree scholar to tell your humble self that the market price could or should & would be around RM2,030 & of course, this is a freaking good price for a piece of paper money with a face value of just RM10 & taking into consideration that one has not factored in the omnipresent inflationary factor, if you get the drift, & once you have factored that in, it must be less that the face value & thus, not worthy of any desire to gloat or crow about, but of course, such topic and/or issue should be left to a PhD scholar to dissect and/or digress as after all, how many of us are of scholarly material? 

Over on this freaking board, one should stay focussed on issues of numismatic interest & not stray into economic issues for that we leave to a him or even her who has a PhD in Economics, perhaps.................

Malaysia 1998 $50 Polymer Banknote

***The first ever Malaysian banknote made using Polymer with a face value of RM50 but sold to the numismatic public at RM80 each.
But, after 15 years, its price is still stuck at the dungeon-level, with no prospect of it ever making an inch of uptick pricewise.
Apparently, 500,000 pieces were issued, but this is a very tiny issue as after all, Malaysia has a rough total population of 25 million people, but you can nevertheless still buy a piece online for as low as RM85, or you can pop by at the Central Bank's Money Museum in KL & buy them at the price when it was first issued 15 years ago, ie, at RM80.
As such, this featured banknote is an extremely fine example of what one should never gloat about and with the grading fees at approximately RM100, this banknote is up for sale at just RM185 only.
Thus, whoever is interested, please don't hesitate to PM. Take note that the extra RM100 is actually roughly the amount paid to PMG to have the note graded. If you want to buy at RM80, you can buy it at the Money Museum.

Malaysia $1 ZB Replacement 100 Pieces Uncirculated

***A stack of 100 Running Pieces of the new RM1 ZB Replacement and of course, it came from none other than the Fort Knox-like Monetary Vault of our respected numismatic market leader, Sir Raymond Chang (O.B.E.).
It's amazing that the numismatic market is filled with a deluge of various alphabetical replacements, from ZA, ZB, ZC & Z don't know what.
Why so many Zs? Why so many banknotes have been misprinted that they needed to be replaced?
And of course, there is nothing to gloat about with these ZB Replacements as below the surface, there is a supply and in due course, the market will be flooded.
Have you folks forgotten about the 'rare' RM1 ZD Replacement 'incident?!'

Malaysia 2013 $1 Polymer 9999901 Uncirculated

***A stack of 100 pieces of the new RM1 polymer note & which should have the all important & pivotal notes bearing the Serial NOs of 9999999 & 10000000, but sadly, these 2 very much desired banknotes are missing & in their places are 2 lousy pieces of ZB Replacements.
Of course, these RM1 ZB should be useless in the final analysis because the ZBs could and should come out in stacks or bricks but the Solid 9s & 10 Millions will never come out in stacks and you sure don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to know that.
And of course, given a choice to choose, it's better to choose Solid 9s and 10 Millions instead of the freaking ZB Replacement.

Malaysia 2013 $1 Polymer 8888801 Uncirculated

***A Stack of the new RM1 polymer note & supposedly freshly out from the print and of course, since it's polymer, it's meant to last forever, as "Polymer Is Forever," the newly coined numismatic slogan.
And sadly, this note just bears the almost solid serial numbers of 8888801 and the all important pivotal number found therein is missing.
In its place, there was a note that bears the Prefix of ZD...Maybe, this is an error/misprinted note.
Perhaps, the many sifus out there, old & newly crowned ones, could share some light on this...
