Show me your example of any coin from the Philippines, U.S. or otherwise

JohnnyCache

I have always admired the artistry on both sides of the 1 peso coins from the U.S. Philippines.
However many of them are anything but original, even the proofs. When you do find a nice one in MS they can get pricey.

Given that I like the design, but also keeping in mind that these coins fall outside what I would consider my primary collecting focus, I wanted to find a happy medium and acquire an example that I would be happy with, all while not putting a dent in my limited coin $$ resources.

This example fit the bill for me. Lets see yours.

Also a question: Do these coins get viewed as a sort of Dark side / Light side hybrid, with appeal on both sides? Are they only thought of as light side being U.S. issue? or are they viewed more like the the red headed stepchild that nobody wants as part of their side?

There are some line streaks in the last picture (obv.) that were on the holder not the coin, which I subsequently polished those minor scratches off of the slab.

I think these do appeal to both US and World collectors (so they are somewhat of a hybrid). However, I would guess few US collectors know about these.

Bought a 1903 USPI Proof Set at auction once... these were the coppers and the reason I bought the set!

A few more --

Need to get this 1944-S 5c TrueView'ed --

If only the early date type denominations (1903-1936) were as friendly to the pocketbook in high grade as the Commonwealth issues...all in due time!!

I don't know that I've ever shown this one yet.

One Centavo, Philadelphia Mint trial strike. Likely unique.

Five Centavo, Manila Mint trial strike. Ex-Pineda. Likely unique.

The Philippines Market was Turbo-Charged when the US issues were added to the Redbook!

Looks like a gem of a proof! Very low mintage too. Like 500?

You did well young man! The numismatic/market value of those far exceed their bullion/melt value.

1917-S US Philippines (USPI) - 10 Centavos - Broadstruck

PCGS graded this as "Broadstruck" error, but it looks off-center to me asa some of the denticles are missing under Filipinas. Perhaps it's really a @Broadstruck provenance on the label

It's a lot whiter and brighter in hand.

1902-S/S/S US Philippines Peso - Fantasy Date Overstrike - Off-Center Double Struck Error

amwldcoin

It is Broadstruck! A Broadstrike is caused when the collar doesn't close and the planchet squishes out from under the dies. How,s that for a laymen's description? It is an off center Broadstrike though.

Yes, but aren't all off-center coins broadstruck, but not all broadstruck coins off-center? If so, it seems putting on the rarer error is more fitting.

A coin can be an uncentered broadstrike if it has all the denticles, but if it's missing denticles or other features of the face, it is off-center.

I actually posted this specific question before for another piece I have.

Think Planchet expansion....all over, not just in the direction it's off center.

Is the planchet expanding below FILIPINAS and above STATES? I wouldn't think so but I'm not deep into this. Perhaps it is?

Might be good to ask directly like my previous post!

amwldcoin

Well, the diameter is obviously quit a bit bigger all around than an in collar strike.

See above uniface die trial.

Are Judd numbers assigned for US-Philippine coins?
