Look at this Straits Settlements $1 1903 listed in ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Straits-Settlements-Malaysia-Silver-Dollar-1903-Edward-VII-AB7-/231269988825?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item35d8c3f9d9 It might be a Raised B even though I can't see the B on the crown but look like there is a "period" after the DES below the bust. Couldn't be 100% sure. You can ask seller about this. But look like coin was cleaned from the east to the west which make it less diserable.

This one listed in ebay by Malaysia Seller numismatichua http://www.ebay.com/itm/B2632-Straits-Settlements-1-1903Raised-UNC-BU-/171243505274?pt=Paper_Money&hash=item27dee8867a. Seller list as UNC/ BU but I dont think so. Look on the wear on the ears.

This one listed in ebay recently might be a raised B. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350873410425?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I can just about see a period after DES below the king bust But can not be 100% sure it is a Raised B. Note it is Ex Mount coin.

Thanks very much. You have been a great help Sidney

Dear Sidney, Thanks for quick reply. May I also know the time frame for Conservation + Grading?

Dear Sidney, Which grading you use NGC or PCGS? Do you courier direct to USA or do you go thru Singapore/ Hong Kong? and how long for PCGS/ NGC to return the coin after grading? thanks

Dear Sidney, I acquire this collection from a retired collector which was introduce to me by another collector friend But all this coins are either stain with verdigris or they are cleaned and polished. Someday when I have time I intend to bring all my coins to Mavin in Singapore for them to have a look and let them decide those that can be graded.

Further to my post above, please go to the NGC link http://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/index.aspx?CertNumber=3067535-005 to see that the label had now been changed from INCUSED (as per enclosed picture) to RAISED B
