New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

Sorry Dog, according to PCGS Phillippines coinage from this period is lightside material.

JustHavingFun should take a look at that.
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." -Luke 11:9
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." -Deut. 6:4-5
"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us." -Isaiah 33:22
And thank you 1 Jester; thanks for thinking of me. I really get off on this stuff.
Warm regards to both of you,

I am determined to find an OC US-Phil. Though, I don't think my junk box is where it's going to be.
Great find!!!

The US-Philippines are bi-national and bi-lingual. They all say "United States of American" on the reverses. You can see the "United" on the reverse of Mad Marty's coin.
At one time they were generally considered to be Philippine coins, but today they're generally considered US coins. They're listed in the Red Book (GUide to US Coinage) and included as US coinage in, for instance, the PCGS and NGC pop reports. Also, when you slab the US-Philippine coins, you pay the domestic rate.
The coins were mostly minded in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver, like American coins, but beginning in 1920 some were minted in Manila which was and is the only US mint ever located outside the continental USA.
The US Philippine error coins are few and far between and reasonably valuable. Mad Marty's is one of only two 5 centavos that I've seen that is so far off center. I have the other one, but it's no where nearly as neat looking as his.
Best wishes,
Just Having Fun
