More Coin. That is all the sound Tia Baby wants to hear.. when she run thru my side pockets of the jeans. The clinging and clanging of the coins make even adults happy, when they are in the casino I mean.
But having said that, I must say I have a stash of not so collection of coins and a few of them i classify as “rare coin“, by me. Not by some appraiser, but I did so once before and of which was a recalled 3/4 Cent (three quarter of a Cent) of the Queen Victoria head for the Straits Settlements which was recalled. However, Early 17th century Gold Coinage is always sought after by investors and collectors alike. With prices hitting over $10Million, these rare coins are beyond the reach of the avid collector.
Just like the Three-Quarter Cent of the Straits Settlements. It may as well be a fake , fluke or act of withdrawal as the coin is full of mistakes. One explicit example is the word :cen without the T, thus sense of withdrawal. Also, that the coinage had crisp features, as if it had not been in circulation.
I did a carbon dating test on it before, and it was revealed to be within the era of the year it was coined. Either it was a fluke,fake or otherwise, it is more or less of a curio nowadays, and it fetch high prices because of this issue. It was the same as the One Thousand Pound Note which was withdrawn by the Bank of England with only less than 8 in the world.
Just like the Penny Black inverted. Or the Recalled One Thousand Ringgit banknote. (Which is open for offers over $3,000)
So, watch out the next time you count your coin. It may be worth more than the face value.
