US/Philippines coins

I used to work at a gas station as a teenager. This one ended up in my hands while working one day. Its been in my bag of coins for 20 or so years. I would love to collect more like these from the early days of the US occupying the Philippines. Wish it was cleaner, but its still neat as is. I didnt realize the history of these coins till recently. Thought I would share!

Using Photobucket this time!

These are very cool coins Richard , thanks for sharing. I have one on the way i'll add to your thread when i get it. Yours looks to be a San Francisco minted coin , i'm not sure what mine will be due to dodgy ebay photos.
