Sometimes, when you really want something, it will be very hard to achieve or get them. That's also happen to me in my quest searching for banknote and coins. I start collecting because of strait settlement coin.
One of straits settlement coin that still don't have in my possesion is 1 dollar king george V 1919-1920. I have been looking this particular item in internet, lelong, auction, coin trader, coin collectors, and currency collectors. This happen when I start working in penang in 2000. The best I could find is year 1919 at RM950 in AUNC condition in 2004. A very expensive price and overprice item. The seller knew I am looking for that particular item.
This year, I am lucky because stumble upon this coin again at a much cheaper price and better condition. I bought this 1920 king george V 1 dollar coin at RM450 in Amcorp Mall, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. After 8 years, finally my quest to own this coins ended with a happy ending.
