Picked up this rare proof coin!

Picked up with US-Philippines 20 centavos coin. 90% silver roughly the size of a quarter. This has a mintage of around 2500 with far fewer survivors. Just thought I’d share this old US territory coin! What old proofs do you have?

    That is cool!
    I always enjoyed this design and having it in PROOF is a nice bonus.

    I really enjoy the US Philippines issues and I have a few in my collection, but I don't have a proof like you.

    I like your coin a lot!

    Very nice. I have many, many coins of different denominations from the Philippines of that era. An older relative gave them to me when I was a little kid. He served in the military there during the early 1900's. They are special to me. Yours is very nice. I like it.
