Unlisted and Unissued JIM Specimen Notes PMG AU55

Finally another masterpiece that I can called my own. 1942 JIM $1 MO prefix specimen banknote. Graded by PMG as AU55. Some people said things that are unlisted usually doesn't exists and sometimes could be counterfeit product made in China. 

Well I would said it need not be the case for every instances. If you have done enough research and studies on your theme of collection, things may work out in anyway. 

My piece of advice to newbies and old timers, me included, always do homework and collect wisely. Use your brain and commonsense, and use you hard earn money wisely.

To the dealers, it is best to stop creating sandiwara, rumours and sparkling fears in the numis world, only to reappear in a later instances as a hero with a so called charitable act to convince newbies into buying your items.

1989 $500 Jafar Hussein Specimen 64EPQ

这张样票相信我不必多说。。。但愿有那么一天我可以找到和拥有它的绝配， $1000大元的样票。

1995 - 1998 Ahmad Don RM10 Specimen Banknote AA Prefix

This is another masterpiece in my collection of specimen banknote family. This is a 1995 Ahmad Don RM10 specimen with AA prefix.

If you study the prefixes issued under this Gabenor and printer...Oh ya forget to mention that the printer is Francois Charles Oberthur....you will see the rarity as well as the scarcity of this specimen note.....

No no no...I am not going to spoil the fun by telling you why it is rare....however, do allow me to give you a hint....the last known circulated prefix was YR before the release of the Wawasan series in 1998....

Furthermore it comes with a very auspicious specimen number 0098, meaning rich for long time.....

Malaysia contoh or specimen notes are very rare as they seldom appear in the market. I have this piece from a very good friend of mine.

Among all the Malaysia specimen notes, this is the most common and easiest to get hold of. Still it cost me quite an amount.
