For the sake of this thread, are Manila-mint Philippines coins allowed (as an official branch of the US mint operating in a US territory) or not allowed (as Manila is not in the mainland US, and did not mint any non-Philippine coins?) I would say "Yes!" -- I've already posted a few. The bigger question, however, is "Should the coins struck for the US Territory and/or Commonwealth of the Philippines be considered world coins or US coins? After all, each coin struck for the US-PI features "United States of America" on it. How many "world" coins can say the same? Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

Sorry I didn't not see this reply before. I would have to agree with Commems. For the sake of this thread, yes I will allow them both. The Philippines are listed one the PCGS list I use. Here is the PCGS list again. https://www.PCGS.com/SetRegistry/mu...osition/4824Even though Mania is not listed I do believe they should be included in this thread...Thanks for asking.

Quote:This came in today. Thank you nss-52 for offering these to CCF members at such a great deal. Belgium 1944P Allied Occupation Coin. Minted using the zinc coated steel cent planchets they used to make the 1943 US Steel LWC's on. Excellent!  |

Got a few pics: Panama Early series (1904-1929) Top row: 2 1/2 Cent 1907 (nickel size) 2 1/2 Cent "Panama Pill" 1904 10 Cent 1904 (Quarter size) Bottom row: 2 1/2 Cent 1929 25 Cent 1904 (Half size) 1/2 Cent 1907   All Panamanian coins were minted in Philadelphia until the 1980s if memory serves. Most denominations were struck on US planchets since the Balboa has been pegged 1:1 to the USD since inception in 1904. The first issues in 1904-05 had the "true" silver value, which briefly made them contain twice as much silver as their US counterparts due to a slump in the silver prices. 5 centesimos were struck on dime planchets, 10 on (slightly lighter) quarter planchets, 25 on half planchets, and 50 on dollar planchets. The Mint made a special 10mm planchet for the 2 1/2 Centesimos, which was the smallest ever produced at the US mint. Edited by Finn235
