NGC has graded 50 total, with 5 including this one in MS63 and 22 more in higher grades, mostly MS64, up to MS66.
PCGS has graded 7 total, with 2 in MS63 like this one, and three in higher grades.
This is a coin I have never seen available for sale or auction in any grade except raw messed-up-looking ones on Ebay, of which I own a couple. One in MS64 on Heritage is available for offers, and when I made some offers, I got a counter of $5000. A year later this coin showed up as I searched for new listings under 1916 in world coins on Ebay and I bought it immediately. The population census does not seem to convey the actual scarcity of this coin, or demand for good examples. Must be Singapore money.
