I love u.s.- philippines silver coins dated before 1945

Well, that's a shame. It seems like the two of us would have had plenty to chat about (and I joined just around then).

How do you identify this as a mule instead of the relatively common 1918-s 5 centavo (with both obverse and reverse of the correct dies)?

Hmm... the link earlier in the thread has a much larger picture, and I'm still having trouble telling that the reverse is from a 20 centavo:

That seems to match what I've read and seen. If Elaine has any evidence to the contrary, I'm certainly interested.

Also, I would love to get ahold of one of the 1946 issues. Are they illegal to own, like the 1964 Peace Dollars that were supposedly all melted down without being released?

 

1918-S 5 centavo mule

Good Day GeorgeM,

The date of the 1918-S 5 centavo resembles a much smaller date compared with the regular 5 centavos. I have a 1916 5 centavo and the said 1918-S 5 centavo mule. If you take a closer look on both coins, you would easily recognize their differences.

1: Date of the normal 5 centavos are much thicker and wider. Mule looks exactly a 20 centavo coin on reverse.

2: Shield on the mule is much broader as oppose to the regular 5 centavo.

Hope it helps. Thanks!

 

I love collecting the U.S.-Philippine coins, but don't have many in high grades:

 

Ah, it does! I compared my 1918 5 centavos to a 1918 20 centavo, and the difference is really clear. The numerals in 1918 on the 20 centavo are about half as thick and only 2/3 the size (despite the 20c being
a larger coin).

 

I was fortunate enough to buy a small collection of foreign coins today from a young lady. Included was a Filipinas ten centavos 1945 D. My question is: What is (if any) the Silver content of this coin? I'm finding conflicting answers on the internet.

The US-Philippines 10 centavos coins from the 1940s are .750 fine silver.

 

Many thanks Collector1966. I trust your call.

 

I love U.S. Philippine coins too. I wish they weren't so hard to find especially the certified coins.

 

Heck, what's not to like.

Though not strickly Americian coins. I keep these 2 in my USA/Phillipine collection. they were minted in san Francisco and depict an American. (General Douglas MacCaurthur.)

Been looking for a decent 1909-S USPI 50 centavos (semi-key date) for quite awhile... picked this one up at the Glendale Coin Club Show yesterday in Van Nuys, CA as it's about the best one I've seen in my hunt:

 

That is one beautiful coin! I love the design on these coins.

 

Keep rubbing it in Illini...........

 

I have posted it a couple times before but this may very well be my favorite coin out of all the thousands in my collection! It has a "fire" about it...like its alive

 

Very pretty... which date is it??

 

1944D if I'm not mistaken. I'll check tonite and maybe put up a pic of the reverse which is also toned...more of a green. She is a true beauty!

 

This is the reverse...and yes...it was a 1944D. She is a stunner!
