I hate to be busy at work. Busy at work make me missed The MNS 40th Anniversary Auction by the Malaysia Numismatic Society which been held on Sunday 29th March 2009 commencing at 10.00 a.m. The coin auction were held at Muzium Negara, Jalan Petalawati, 50480 Kuala Lumpur. Busy at work also mean less time for blogging and writing my posts. Sorry for my blog reader and entrecard dropper for not doing a constant work in here.
The MNS 40th Anniversary Auction has some item that are in my wishlist but don't have time to check for them. Their reserve price can also be a guide for Malaysia error coin. I am still not a member of Malaysia Numismatic Society. I wish they can make their coin auction every month. After that maybe I will be their member. Entrance fee for ordinary member is RM20.oo and RM40.00 for annual subscription fee. Their coin auction is for member only.
Some of the coin auction item in my wish list are [ Kedah (Silver), ½ Rial (No date) with green patina] with RM100.00 reserve price. [Malaysia 5th series RM500. ZV0687586. Aziz Taha sign.] with RM1000.00 reserve price and GEF condition. [Straits Settlements ¼ cent 1916. Toned on obverse] UNC condition with reserve price RM80.00.
MNS 40th anniversary coin auction also has some Malaysia error coin for sale and their reserve price is a good guide for someone who have an error coin in their possesion or want to buy any error coin from someone.

There are also some lots for MNS building fund. Is this mean that MNS will have its own building in the future? This sure will be another great place for collector like me to visit next time. To commemorate this event, Malaysia Numismatic Society also producing a highquality limited edition individually serialized medallion. The proceeds from the sale of Malaysia Numismatic Society 40th year anniversary medallion will go into their Society’s Building Fund. The price of the medallion is RM150.00 and only 300 pieces of the medallion will be minted.
I wish I can go back time...
