I noticed at the just past StacksBowers sale that as I was waiting for my lot to come up that Many even minor Philippine coins were going crazy - some even up to 30 and 40,000 dollars.
What gives?
Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
Well, just Love coins, period.

Well there were many very high grade pieces (probably pop tops) in that collection.
But to answer your question, yes, I think they’ve been doing pretty well since a while now. I know I’m out since I don’t want to pay current prices.
When you get into MS65 and up territory even common pre-1946 Philippine coins go for moon money. Has been this way for some years and for good reason.
Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff
Philippines coins took off when they added them to the Redbook!
I believe as I heard there will be more on Philippine coins from the Redbook.
Stay Tuned.
there is definite interest, when you see an old blue Whitman bookshelf album for Philippine coins go for sale and they sell for $25 - $50 depending on condition. They are beautiful coins and cheap compared to their stateside cousins. Proofs are a bargain, High grade business strikes are tough to find and not so cheap. Fun series to collect.
Yes, I have an old Whitman Philippine album that ends in 1961. It's about 3/4 full. It's the 1903-06 that I found difficult to find, back 40 years ago when I was collecting them and many other foreign items.
