SIBU: The face value is only 50 sen and minting date is 1967 and yet some 46 years later, the rare coin sitting among John Goh’s collection is now worth a whopping S$4,200 (over RM10,700).
The president of Sarawak Philatelic and Numismatic Society told The Star here that during the Collectible Auction Asia in Singapore on Oct 19, the opening price for that very coin was S$1,600 (RM4,100) apiece.
