Coin question for March 2010

Every month, there is over a dozen question asked by my reader about coin, banknote, collection, item price and accecories that related to numismatic world. I will be sharing them starting this month. Do mind though, I am not an expert. I just like to share what I know and what I read about this hobbies. If you think that my answer is wrong, feel free to comment in here. Just make sure you don't spam me with unrelated link. I am editing some of this question to make sure it is relevent to this blog. Keep on giving me question to lunaticg@gmail.com. I will try to answered them.

Question: How can I get buyer for this coin? How to differentiate between nickle & bronze coin?

Azizan:

Dear Lunaticg,

My name is Mr.Azizan. Here i just want to ask you some questions. Actually now 1 have bronze "1 SEN 1976" coins. Based on your informations (Malaysia rare coin price table) in your blog, there's mentioned that only 100 pcs known exist...and the price is RM650-UNC & RM900-BU. Here is my questions..

1) How can i get the buyer for this coin?

2) What is the meaning of UNC & BU?

Other questions:-

1) For "1 SEN 1979 Nickle", based on your informations (Malaysia rare coin price table) in your blog, there's mentioned that only 2 pcs known exist and the price is RM2500-UNC & RM3100-BU. So if i have 1 piece, how & what is the methods to differentiate between nickle type & bronze type?

Me:

Hi azizan.

I think if you search my blog you will find the answer you're seeking for, its already there. Just go to Malaysia Ringgit Label.

If you want to sell the item fast, you can always find coin dealer near your place but please expect 50% decrease on its market value. The best way is to sell them online yourself. You can try mudah.my or lelong (if you're in Malaysia) or you can try eBay. Just make sure you give detail information and clear picture of your actual item.

UNC stand for Uncirculated. BU is Brilliant Uncirculated. Just check my blog under handling tips label.

The color of the coin already a big difference between that two.

Question: 10th anniversary coin for the coronation of His Highness Sultan Hassanal Bokiah worth?

Julia:

Hi there, I saw your blog, and in it you mentioned that you welcome coin questions.

I'm a 29-year-old American who has a few questions about a 1978 Brunei commemorative coin. I need to sell it in the next 5 days and was wondering what I could expect to get for it. I was also wondering its value. I understand that by selling it quickly I'm going to take a loss in proceeds. Do you have any recommendations for the method in which I go about doing so?

Coin description:

10th anniversary coin for the coronation of His Highness Sultan Hassanal Bokiah (1968 1978) $1,000 mint condition, encased in hard plastic shell encased coin is in a box that is in very good condition, looks to have been made in the 70's.

Certificate of Authenticity is included. Certificate is in good condition, slightly aged but with no wrinkles, stains, or tears. It names this coin as being number 805 out of the 1000 minted. It lists the composition as being 916.7 Gold and 83.3 Copper (I'm not quite sure what those numbers mean). It lists the diameter as being 40 mm. Weight: 50 g, plus or minus 0.27 grams. Date of issue: 1 August 1978

I was only able to find one example of this coin being sold in the past online, and wanted to get a second opinion as to its value to confirm my assumption. Hopefully, if you do reply and are able to help with any of this information, you won't tell me you found one last week in a crackerjack box.

I'm attaching 2 poor pictures of the coin. They're of poor quality because I don't have a digital camera right now, only my phone, and snapped these on the spur of the moment, halfway through this e-mail. I apologize ahead of time for the blurriness of the snapshots, but they'll atleast give you an idea of what the coin looks like. Rest assured I'm a real person and my e-mail is genuine; I'm not sending you some sort of weird virus in the attachments, I promise.

I appreciate any time you spent reading this.

Me:

Hi Julia.

You're the first one asking me with so much detail about your coin. Look like you already make a research about it. That is a proof 1000 dollars 10th anniversary of Sultan's coronation. The coin price is USD1700. Nice collection you have there.

eBay is the best if you're looking for a high price. If you want to sell them fast, you can asked coin dealer near your place. Just make sure you asked around for a good price before you decided to sell them but expect a 50% decrease on the price. You can also try asking any gold shop if they want to buy this item. The coin gold price almost the same as its current value.

Wish that will give you any help and good luck on selling your coin. Just remember to asked around for a good price before you decide to sell.

Julia:

Hello again Ahmad,

I just thought you'd like to know that I managed to speed-sell the Brunei coin for 1300 USD, the one you blue-booked at 1700 USD. This was more than I had hoped to get for a speed-sale (my highest realistic estimate was at 1150) , thanks to you and the wonderful current market value of gold. I took a gamble by avoiding a place that wanted to deface the coin to test it. Instead I went out of my way and opted to sell it to a nice local coin shop (with people who could also appreciate and respect the coin). Another coin shop tried to rip me off before I settled with this one. It certainly pays to do the research! Thanks again for all of your help.

Question: How much Iraq Dinar worth?

Rusty:

I would like to know how much these items are worth.

saddams 25 Dinar note (one dinar note, five dinar note and ten riyals note), i brought these back with me after the war in Iraq...thank you so much for your help.

Me:

Hi Rusty.

I cannot see any picture but if the Iraq dinar is a new one (1990), Most probably it won't worth a thing since Iraq dinar cannot be traded as currency. For banknote collector, only the old Iraq Dinar have value but it don't worth much. 3 US Dollar for 10 dinars-uncirculated for 1986 notes.

Wish That can help you.

Question: Where to get coin album in Subang?

Leon:

i stumbled across your website and it was a fantastic website. i just started to collect coins and the problem is i dont have an album to put it. i had searched in all major bookstores but couldnt acquire it. sorry for the silly question, but can i know where could i get one? i'm staying in subang area.

thanks

hope to hear from u soon.

Me:

Hi leon.

You can try popular book at Summit USJ. They should have them. If you want to put a precious collection and want a better coin album. You can try go to Amcorp Mall in Petaling Jaya Saturday and Sunday. There is a flea market there with almost every coin dealer in Klang Valley coming. You can read it in my blog under flea market label or just search amcorp mall in my blog.

Question: Good place to pick up China banknotes in Penang or Kuala Lumpur?

Samuel:

Hi,

Love your blog. Need your advice. Is there another good place to pick up china banknotes in Penang or KL?

Thanks.

Me:

Hi Samuel.

Do you mean China old banknote? You can try Steven Tan shop in Kuala Lumpur. You can find the address in my coin dealer list. just go to my blog and look for coin dealer label. If you're going to Penang, you can try Tan coin & trading. Their shop located at Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling.

Summer Hair for Ladies in 2010

For those who love short hair, pixies are as popular as ever. Extremely short, or the newer layered pixie that is just a little bit longer, either one is great for most women. If your face shape normally prohibits you from enjoying a pixie cut, then you might want to consider one of the layered pixies. These styles are a bit longer while still retaining the look and shape of the traditional pixie, and are great ways to use bangs to make the look work for you.
Medium hair lovers will adore the shag style this summer. This layered cut is great because it is extremely easy to style. In fact, many people use their fingers and nothing else! Light-weight thanks to the layers, it is very attractive with its razor textures at the ends. Shags can be longer or shorter depending on personal preference, but they always look great and are excellent for anyone, no matter what shape their face is.

Less item higher price?

What happen if you got less item to sale? Higher price? I am on my usual hunting trip to Penang recently. Most of my frequent reader know by now that one of my main source of collection come from money changer. Penang is a money changer heaven since there are so many changer premises you can find along Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, Chulia Street, in KOMTAR building or almost at any part of the city. You need to click picture below to see what I meant by over price item. Almost all money changer along Chulia street and Masjid Kapitan Keling street are putting a ridiculous price on their item. When asked about their price, their reply is that they receive less supply but many people who coming to Penang are looking for it.

One day, this will be a normal scenario for banknote and coin collector like me. When I started my first job in Penang 10 years ago, there are so many great collections at a very affordable price. I can buy them and sell them the same day with fifty percent profit. After feeling disappointed with the high price item in almost every money changer shop, I am taking a walk to Esplanade Road (Jalan Padang Kota Lama). Luckily, Penang also famous for its foods and historical@pre-war building to keep me busy.

Photo: Penang City Hall building.

The walk bring me to Penang Municipal Council building, Penang City Hall. This building built in 1903 in the typical British Palladian architectural style, the building has been listed as a national monument since 1982 under the Antiquities Act 1976. It is a two-storey building believed specifically built to house council/municipal offices in the early days. It was built at a cost of 100,000 Straits Dollars. It currently houses the Penang Municipal Council Chambers and two departments – the Licensing and the Urban Services departments. The Municipal Council of George Town was established in 1857, the first local authority in Malaya after Singapore.

Photo: Penang high court building.

Photo: Chinese chamber of commerce building.

I then walk around Light Street, near Esplanade road area. There are many prewar building building in that area; State Assembly hall, Fort Cornwallis, Penang war memorial, Penang High Court, State assembly building, and other early government building in Penang. Light street named after the famous Captain Francis Light. Padang Kota also famous for its hawker centre and popular waterfront promenade.

Most new collector nowadays, collect numismatic item just for investment. I don't mind about high price as long as the item is in high quality. But low grade items at a high price is ridicilious. Just make sure you are not buying something like this if you on a hunting trip to Penang. If the numismatic item is on a high price, go to Penang cheap and delicious nasi kandar instead. That make me forget about my unsuccessful hunting trip for a while.

Staffordshire Hoard saved

The Art Fund on 23 March 2010 announced that the Staffordshire Hoard fundraising campaign already ended. The largest archaeological Anglo-Saxon find ever unearthed, has been saved. The news comes after the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF), the government's fund of last resort for heritage items at risk, pledged £1,285,000, bringing the campaign to the £3.3m target, just over three weeks ahead of schedule. Birmingham City Council and Stoke-on-Trent City Council have until 17 April to raise the funds needed to buy the Staffordshire Hoard for the West Midlands.

Photo by Wikipedia: Some of the Staffordshire Hoard

Stephen Deuchar, Director of The Art Fund, said: "We have been absolutely bowled over by the enthusiasm and fascination the Staffordshire Hoard has sparked amongst the British public, as well as visitors from abroad. It is wonderful news that the NHMF has enabled the target of £3.3m to be reached ahead of the deadline, and I hope that this will give the West Midlands a head-start with the next stage in fundraising for the conservation, research and display of the treasure."

Dame Jenny Abramsky, Chair of NHMF, said: "We’re delighted to be able to announce this news today. The Staffordshire Hoard is an extraordinary heritage treasure. It is exactly the sort of thing the National Heritage Memorial Fund was set up to save, stepping in as the ‘fund of last resort’ when our national heritage is at risk, as a fitting memorial to those who have given their lives in the service of our nation. We’re delighted, in our 30th anniversary year, to be able to make sure it stays just where it belongs, providing rare insights into one of the more mysterious periods of our history."

Thanks to the support of the public, trusts and foundations, and the generous £1,285,000 NHMF grant, the awe-inspiring find has now been safely secured for Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery and the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. On 13 January 2010 The Art Fund launched the campaign to save the Staffordshire Hoard on behalf of both acquiring museums with a £300,000 grant and with generous pledges of £100,000 each from Birmingham and Stoke City Councils. The Art Fund's, kick-started the public appeal by announcing an initial Art Fund grant of £300,000 and by unveiling the official donation website www.artfund.org/hoard last January. However, The Art Fund still need a further £1.7m so that the Hoard can be properly conserved, studied and displayed.

Ryoma Sakamoto commemorative coin

A news by Mainichi reported that Japan Mint will release a memorial coin to honor of samurai Ryoma Sakamoto. The new memorial silver coin embossed with an image of legendary 19th-century samurai Ryoma Sakamoto. The administrative agency has been issuing coins representing prefectures since 2008, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the enforcement of the Local Autonomy Law. Sakamoto Ryōma was a leader of the movement to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate during the Bakumatsu period in Japan.

The new 1,000-yen coin is themed on Kochi Prefecture, the birthplace of Sakamoto, a samurai who led the movement to overthrow the Tokugawa Shogunate and made a great contribution to the modernization of Japan. He has been featured in many films and TV dramas, including NHK's ongoing period drama "Ryomaden." A total of 100,000 of the coins will be sold through mail order, at the price of 6,000 yen each. They will go on sale from late May.

Photo by Wikipedia: Sakamoto Ryōma

Sakamoto Ryōma was born in Kōchi, of Tosa han (present day Kōchi Prefecture, Shikoku) on 3rd January 1836. Ryōma played a crucial role in the subsequent negotiations that led to the voluntary resignation of the Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu in 1867, thus bringing about the Meiji Restoration. Ryōma used the alias Saidani Umetarō (Saidani Umetarō) as a cover name during his work to keep Japan united in the creation of a modern government which would allow his country to join the rest of the world which was in a colonizing mode, while keeping its own sovereignty intact. Ryōma was assassinated at the age of 33 (according to the old lunar calendar he was born on 15 November 1835 and killed on his birthday in 1867) at the Ōmiya inn in Kyoto, not long before the Meiji Restoration took place.
