***A rather ordinary stack of 100 pieces of the RM100 note issued way, way back in year 2000.
Why would anyone want to keep these for more than 10 years as you don't need to be an Oxford graduate to know that the omnipresent inflation would eat into the value of these notes?
And furthermore, if one wants to keep these numismatically, it's better to keep the one bearing the Side-Signature, instead of these which bear the Centre-Signature.
The reason is plain simple because the RM100 notes bearing the Side-Signature are more valuable among collectors and these Centre signed are more common.
And that's what being strongly emphasised thru the Malaysian numismatic catalogues unanimously.
All 3 fantastic & well-written catalogues indicated that the RM100 Side-Signature RM100 notes are more valuable than the Centre-Signed ones and all the current 3-headlines-making catalogues are saying the same tting, ie, the Side signed ones are more valuable than the Centre Signed ones.
They cannot all be wrong, can they. They certainly must be 1000% correct, surely. Just like someone not so famous once said, 1 billion people couldn't be wrong, could they?
***For a very new Replacement issue, it's catalogued at a very high price by the various catalogues.
Could the catalogues be wrong? Impossible, as not all of them could be wrong, could they?!
And various newly anointed Smart Alecs are saying that this is a rare Malaysian Replacement too or so-called rare if one could put one's faith into the hands of these very 'learned' Smart Alecs but you do surely know that if one were to refer to History, these Smart Alecs had never been correct in their intelligent 'analysis.'
Where the hell they procured such invaluable info to conclude that a certain issue is rare should be a good topic for a PhD thesis....
***A rather sassy set of 20 Pieces of the RM1 note with the Prefixes from ZA right up to ZW.
But sadly, the note bearing the Prefix of ZF is missing as it has been extremely hard trying to locate for one from North South & East West of Malaysia.
Before any Smart Alec out there tries to make a face and say that this ZF note doesn't exist, you are kindly advised to refer to the local numismatic catalogue that says it exists.
Its existence has been emphasised in 2 editions, not 1, in case you moron starts to yap that it's a pure unforeseen to err-is-human-like oversight.
Hey, if the book says ZF exists, then, the freaking ZF note exists OK & don't start to oppose for the sake of opposing, OK?
And if you think you are so freaking smart, then, go ahead and publish a numismatic catalogue yourself and see if you yourself will become an object of scorn and ridicule...
***A Solid Serial Numbers that's universally liked by various numismatic collectors but of course, it's history and is already done with as it's now an obsolete issue & with obsoleteness, follows the usual price increment.
Will the price of this Polymer banknote charter never chartered before territory?
Definitely with any doubt due to the fact that many 'rubbish' that's being currently sold are themselves chartering territories never chartered before and as such, this banknote certainly deserves a special place high up pricewise one fine today tomorrow.
***The ever popular, evergreen & ever durable Malaysian polymer note with the face value of 5 bucks but with God knows what sort of numismatic value it carries as not many of this issue featuring such a solid number are in collectors' hands, as what the usual unreliable grapevine has indicated and/or insinuated.
But the saddest & very regrettable part is that this polymer note is not in UNC condition, esp. if one were to spend an hour or so scrutinising it under one's bedroom's light.
It looks more like a Good AUNC note. Or rather, it's an AUNC++ note, gradewise.
***Can you all believe how fast time flies as this 100 bucks banknote is already 30 years old?!
What you could buy with 100 bucks 30 years ago you couldn't buy today & you don't have to walk the corridors of Harvard to know the reason for that.
This banknote has altogether 6 prefixes in total and as such, the similar deno from the First Issue dated 1967 should be scarcer as the latter had only 3 Prefixes.
You don't need to be a high IQed Einstein to know that this $100 issue is not really a rare or scarce banknote as such.
And getting the PMG Choice UNC 65 is definitely not good enough as that's 65 out of 70, and as such, 65 is nothing to crow about as it's actually way off the desired 70........
But at least the condition of the paper on which this banknote was printed on has been deservingly described as Exceptional Paper Quality.
EPQ is apparently not just another freaking meaningless 3-letter-word as apparently those graded without EPQs have specific reason or reasons for not being given EPQ by PMG & in fact, some chemically washed banknotes have been given the 'NET' instead of the desired 'EPQ.'
***In the 70s, $1,000 bucks were big bucks as not many wage earners actually earned this much at the end of every month.
As such, not many such big deno notes were left in high grade condition so the usual story goes.
Which moron wouldn't want spend away this banknote and instead hide it away under the pillow, unless, that particular moron was way filthy rich & if he were to be that way filthy rich, would you think he would want to waste time collecting such obsolete banknotes, which is actually child's play?
This banknote looks like UNC, smelt like UNC & even felt like UNC, but somehow PMG thinks otherwise.
PMG is the world's NO.1 most credible & trusted banknotes grader and being conservative, it's no surprise this banknote has been 'slabbed' as Choice AU 58, and it's always better to be conservative than to overgrade and make an idiot of oneself.
