Looking back, time flies.
ReplyDeleteStill remember the first reference book on Malaysian numismatic that we've bought was Saran's 'Pictorial Guide to Grading of Malaysian Coins and Bank Notes' first edition 1978.
And the book is still with us.
Hmmm...glad to see you joining the league too, Dickson, haha.
Our warmest regards to all the sifus :)
And Saran also showed me the aforesaid book when I was at his house a month back.
ReplyDeleteThereafter, I and Saran adjourned to the Pelita Restaurant in Bangsar for our makan session.
I am glad that Saran showed me the rare JIM Rubber Tapper note with the Black MA Prefix.
terpegun melihat duit2 error dan rare yang ada disini...sayangnya saya tidak mahir dlm bahasa inggeris..apa pun saya akan terus mencari info disini...TQ
