On the first day (29-3-2014) when I arrived at the Singapore Panda America 2014 International Coin Fair at Marina Bayfront, I was offered to view a very high graded Malaysia 1976 Tapir RM500 Gold Proof coin. Gorgeous, it was graded by PCGS with PR69DCAM.
I took a copy of CAA 3/2014 Auction Catalog, turned to back cover page and showed to my buddy Singapore numismatist, an advertisement of NGC listed the other piece of Malaysia 1976 Tapir RM500 Gold Proof graded PF 69 ULTRA CAMEO.
