The market value for this coin in BU grade is so high.
Wonder is it worth keeping more than a single specimen?
Thanks a lot for sharing, mnfaj :)
Dear mnfaj,
Now is more difficult to find a Malaysia 1971 10 cents coin in VF condition than the UNC/BU condition.
Most of the VF/EF in condition coins were sacrified for "Tarik Nombor".
Was told,the new stocks from down south country are not cheap anymore due to high exchange rates.Keep some good pieces may be a good ideas.
Hi whycollect,
Ya I have heard that a BU one has exceeded RM300. Pftt That is 30000 times than its face value. Real crazy! haha
Hi Danny,
Looking at the supply number of only 32k, I believe that there is always a huge demand for this coin. Happy collecting!
Hy Mr Dickson,
Yes you are totally right! A VF condition is a lot more scarce than a UNC one. Haha. Thinking of acquiring an UNC/BU one to pair with this one.
Mr Dickson, you are a well respect and known nuemistic. are the UNC/BU coins part of the 32K mintage. As these coins are totally different from Variety 1. I bought my first V1 EF condition at RM850 so indeed the price had increased. Also visit e-bay, you will see someone at RM4500.
