Malaysia Rare 1971 RM5 PROOF coin

Malaysia Rare 1971 RM5 PROOF coin

Malaysia 1971 Commemorative RM5 proof coin obverse Malaysia First Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah  (8-2-1903 to 6-12-1990). The mintage of this coin is 500 and the weight 29.03g with diameter 38mm thickness 3.2mm is a large size proof coin.

A very rare sighting for a coin collector, extremely valuable and is marketed at a very high price at the current moment. The coin is so finely minted, and it outshines with radiance. Proof coin is of a different treatment than the usual and more common ones.

Malaysia 1967 First series PROOF coins set of 5

Malaysia 1967 First series PROOF coins set of 5

The mintage of this coin set is 500 which consists of 5 denomination 1 sen , 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen and
50 sen. This coin set is impeccable and one of the rarest coin sets from Malaysia (ever known).  It is most certainly the dream of every coin collectors to have in possession. The price of this set is exorbitant, and costs a bomb now a days. This coin set is launched on 12th June 1967, which had a history of 47 years, with a history more than myself. My only comment is: THUMBS UP. This supreme set is, no doubt, one of my precious babies. It is one of my huge, gargantuan collection of coin sets of Malaysia Coinage. MALAYSIA BOLEH!

Malaysia 1976 1 sen Copper/Bronze

Malaysia 1976 1 sen Bronze/Copper
Today I would like to share my rare 1976 1 sen bronze / copper which I bought from a friend of mine who is a collector himself.
I took quite a long time to decide whether to keep it as the price of it was not cheap but still considered reasonable. He felt it was not worthy to keep but I felt the opposite. (He quoted, "No matter how good a condition you keep the copper coin in,  it still will degrade by itself, after keeping for a long period of time!")
I felt that the coin deserved a slab so I sent it to NGC 3rd party grading company to grade the coin. The results came back made me really satisfied. What do you think is the result of the grading? Let me tell you, it was...  MS66 RB .
