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.....
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.
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....
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.....
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....
A stack of 100 Running Pieces of the new 5 Ringgit Replacement with the Prefix of ZB, which has been superceded by the ZC & soon by the ZD, which, based on unreliable grapevine will be coming out during this Christmas holiday season.
With so many various Replacement Prefixes, which actually will be the so-called rare one among the many self-proclaimed numismatists?
According to the again unreliable grapevine, apparently, the one bearing the ZC Prefix is the rare one as we very seldom see it these days in the market as market has it that not many were printed & those that were found are being 'hoarded' to be unloaded at some opportune time later at sky-high prices.
As such, the ZB Prefix is just another overprinted Prefix which will be one's folly if one were to park one's cash in it at high prices.
A banknote from the days of yore, whose age is much, much older than many so-called 'numismatists' of today but this is just another very common banknote from British Malaya & was issued towards the end of the British Empire in Malaya.
And as what it has been always been, there is nothing to shout about about this note as conditionwise, it's nothing to gloat about as it's only About Very Fine only, almost Very Fine but just not about there yet.
Gloatable will be its age, which is more than half a century old & may, may this note last a thousand more years in its current state!
And if it carries the Prefix of A/1, then, there is at least a strand of gloat to gloat about as after all, A/1 represents the very First Prefix of this series and apparently, many so-called 'numismatists' of today treasure the First Prefixes as apparently everyone, including so-called 'numismatists' love to be NO.1, love to hog the NO.1 position, sozusagen! Or if one can't get the First Prefix, then, one wouldn't mind settling for the Last Prefix which is B/6, so a Prefix like A/81 which is lost somewhere in the middle is just another very ordinary brick in the wall, si tu comprends ce que je veux dire, tout le monde la-bas. Et toi, la-bas, tous mes lecteurs francophones, tu sais tres bien que je t'aime!
