Trigometric Auction Features Collectibles Certified by PMG and NGC

Many collectible banknotes certified by Paper Money Guaranty® (PMG®) and coins certified by Numismatic Guaranty Company® (NGC®) are included in a two-part Trigometric auction focused on rarities from Southeast Asia. Session 1 of the auction closes on November 25, 2023, and Session 2 closes on November 26, 2023.

The top lot is a Malaysia, Bank Negara ND (1976-81) 1,000 Ringgit graded PMG 58 Choice About Uncirculated (Session 2, lot 2167), which has an estimate of RM44,000 to RM60,000 (about $9,300 to $13,000). The 1,000 Ringgit, the highest denomination ever issued by Malaysia, was discontinued over 20 years ago due to an economic crisis and is prized by collectors today. The grade of this particular note is well above average among the nearly 300 examples of issued notes in the PMG Population Report.
