STRAITS SETTLEMENTS KG V 1925 REPAIRED SILVER DOLLAR
Straits Settlements King George V (1910-1936) 1925 Repaired Silver Dollar Coin.
Rarity: RRRR
Yesterday,a very senior numismatist showed me a piece of very rare 1925 Straits Settlements King George V Silver Dollar coin. It was listed as item code: KN20c and worth RM30,000 for an extremely fine (EF) piece in KN Boon's Malaysia Brunei & Singapore Banknotes and Coins 6th edition catalog. In Steven Tan's "Standard Catalogue of Malaysia,Singapore Brunei Coin & Paper Money" 20th Edition,it was valued at RM36,000 in EF condition (SSC36).
Dated 1925,total mintage unknown, .500 in silver composition, weight at 16.76gm (Normal: 16.85gm),diameter is 34.10mm and with milled edge.
Upon checking, I found out that on the reverse of the coin, at 4 o'clock position,they was a repaired spot on the rim.Likely, it was once used as a decorative ornaments, it was soldered to joint with some other thing.

Even it was a repaired coin, due to its scarcity, it is still worth quite a lot of money.

Why is this coin so rare compared to the other coins in 1919 and 1920
