AA,AB,AC,AD,AE,AF 0000018 Not Very Low Numbers RM50 Notes Malaysia

These are very obviously 5 or rather 6 pieces of the RM50 notes that are currently in circulation in Malaysia & which bear the not very low serial numbers of 0000018, after all, NO.18 is not low or rather, low enough. The lowest of the lows should be NO.1 & which asshole might be having the much envied NO.1 pieces if someone or anyone of you out there knows? Do the public a great service by keeping us all in the loop, will you?!

And actually this so-called set of 6 pieces is nothing but a pathetic attempt to create something out of nothing & the simple reason is because the first note with the Prefix of AA is not NO.18 but is a rather unmatching number of 20018 & that is, if you don't mind, twenty thousand and eighteen & that has nothing to do with NO.18, but since, one can't get NO.18 as that one with NO.18 has been issued & already busy in circulation and should now be in VG condition, this piece with the Serial NOs of 20018 should be good enough as the last 2 digits of 18 do rhyme with the rest of the 5 notes, so what the hell, after all, this is not a perfect 10 contest whereby ever freaking thing has to be a perfect 10.

As usual, these notes have already been sent to a professional grading house to be professionally graded, and just for a change, just like one can't have boiled potatoes for breakfast daily day-in day-out, these notes have been sent to "CMC Grading Institution" to be slabbed & the costs are of no concern as money is not an issue and has never been as issue when it comes to everything numismatic. These CMC folks are here: http://cmcgrading.com/index2.php
But unfortunately, this website is not decipherable to an unerudit moron like yours truly, as it's all in Japanese or is it in Greek?! Ya, it's all Greek to me!

ZZ 0021884 1981 $100 Signed by Mr Aziz Taha

A $100 note issued in 1981, pardon me if I got the date wrong, signed by Mr Aziz Taha, with the Prefix of ZZ, and am honestly not sure if this is a so-called Replacement issue or not as normally Malaysian Replacements bear the Prefix of ZA, while this one is ZZ. My good trusted buddy told me this is definitely NOT a Replacement banknote, & honestly, I don't really give a shit as after all, this banknote is only in About Fine Condition, at most, Fine Condition, so what is there to gloat about? There is nothing overly bosomy with this note really, if you get ma drift.

Some Smart Aleck suggested that this banknote should or rather ought to be sent to PMG to be professionally graded for posterity purposes but if the banknote is only in About Fine condition, what's the point of sending it all the way to Florida to be graded as PMG doesn't belong to our grandfather cos if it belongs to our grandfather, the grading fees could & would & should be waived.

Also, another Smart Aleck suggested that instead of sending this note to PMG (in view of the various costs involved, not to mention the possible danger of the aerial journey to Florida just in case if the plane gets into some weather and/or mechanical trouble mid-flight), I might as well send this note to be graded by a local grading house. Is it true that there is/are local numismatic grading house(s)? May I know what's their charges, what's their turnover time & where are they located at? Thankyouverymuch.

ZB 0134116 RM1 Polymer PMG 65 EPQ 'No Longer RARE'

 

Tout d'abord, à tous mes amis des 4 coins du monde, je veux te souhaite tous Une Bonne Année ainsi que beaucoup de succes pour cette année & liebe alle meine Freunde & Freundinnen dieser Welt, hoffentlich daß fur Ihnen in diesem neuer Jahr alles gut ist!

A Very Happy New 2015 to you folks wherever you are including those folks at the North & South Poles!

But it seems that Year 2015 might not be a good year for yours truly as I am already taking a big hit as the banknote that I am so cocksure of being rare has turned out to be nothing but a piece of worthless shit.

The ZB RM1 Polymer Replacement has always been believed to be a rare note due to its seemingly extreme scarcity and I have bought a total of 164 pieces more than half a year ago at RM200 each, just as a form of long term investment holding, something to be passed on to my great, great grandchildren.

But alas, recently, accordingly to extremely reliable grapevine, there are already 7 million pieces of this note out now as according to the same grapevine, the one with the Serial NOs of ZB 7xxxxxx has been sighted & you don't have to be an Einstein to know bloody well that if there are 7 million pieces of a particular freaking note, this freaking note is definitely & cannot be rare unless of course if ou are a nutcase.

And that's my blardy freaking problem now as 2 months ago the biggest numismatic dealer in town offered me RM800 each, but I refused to sell as I wanted RM1,200 each and I suppose this is the consequence being a greedy pig. Like they say, "Bulls & Bears Will Survive, Only The Greedy Pigs Die!" How true.

But I have another bigger problem now as all these 164 pieces of ZB have been graded. They have been properly graded by PMG, the world famous authoritative independent banknotes grader, NOT some other graders as there seems to be quite a number of banknotes graders these days besides PMG! Grading 164 banknotes costs money as PMG doesn't belong to my grandfather. Even though among these 164 pieces as a consolation, I have managed to get 30 pieces graded at PMG 67 EPQ, 11 Pieces at PMG 68 EPQ, 5 Pieces at PMG 69 EPQ & 2 Pieces at PMG 70 EPQ, while the rest are PMG 65 & 66 EPQ.

But with the surfacing of the bigger numbers, theoretically giving the impression that there are about 7 million pieces of this note floating around, I have, as this year's New Year Resolution, decided to take a hair-cut or rather cut loss as after all, a man has to do what a man has to do - I have sold all these 164 pieces of ZB to a very mall-time dealer in Sabah for just RM150 each. Ya, a hefty loss but a lesson well learnt & my New Year 2015 certainly started with a bang but ah suppose in the wrong way.

OK, I promise & swear that I will not repeat my above mistake again this year. Actually, I already promised my grandfather last year, ie, on New Year's Eve, that I am quitting the numismatic world as I can't be forever taking losses & constantly losing my pants.

Malaysia 1976 3rd Series $10 Banknote

***Among the early Malaysian banknotes of the $10 deno, the 3rd Series is the cheapest & the most common.
Despite the passage of 40 long years, it's still a laggard pricewise & as such, there is nothing to crow, gloat, shout or trumpet about even if the note bears a so & so solid numbers.
After all, its prefix is neither the all-desirable first nor the last prefix but it's just another lousy middle prefix & also, if one were to count the prefixes from the first to the last, actually, quite a hell of a lot of these notes were printed & thus, the quantity for the total solid numbers printed is quite colossal, so all crowings, gloatings, shoutings & trumpeting should be reserved for a much rarer banknote compared to this common one.

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.

Burma Japanese Invasion Money 1 Rupee Block Letters Omitted

***A worthless 1 Rupee Japanese Invasion Money used in Burma but which seems to come without its all-common Block letters of BD.
But surely, the all-efficient Japs couldn't have omitted printing the Block letters.
And if local Malaysian banknotes can have had the Agung portraits on them removed, & thus, making them 'excellent errors', surely, these JIM notes' Block letters could be removed too,& very easily that is, esp. now that there are so many newly crowned sifus, or rather senseis or better still, grandmasters, in the Malaysian numismatic world.
That being the case, then, this banknote is nothing but a 'post-mint job', but a very professionally done 'post-mint job' that each and everyone of us should & must be proud of.
