Hi all!

I am in Singapore thru May and I am looking to acquire a straits settlements silver dollar. I have no idea what its worth and am not particular on the date.

Which is the date I should be looking for if I want the best price?
How much should I be willing to pay for one in XF or better?

Hey, I was gonna say watch out for Chinese fakes! That is very first thought when I think of any larger silver coin from that part of the world.

if not too inconvenient, keep a small magnet and electronic scales with you: these are two useful tools to eliminate fakes from your acquisition program.

Any preference for Monarch? I think 1909 is under priced for the mintage. A nice XF will set you back about $100 if you want to pay that much. A 1907 or 1908 will be cheaper at around $60. Pretty much all the other years will be over the $100 mark.

Buy from a dealer, as selling counterfeit coins is illegal in Singapore and you will be better protected.
