pbb1807 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 1:56 pm I purchased this 1906 Philippines Peso at an auction in 1984 for A$42. It weighs 27 G, but I am sure it may be a fake. The 1 looks like a curved serif. Could expert eyes and experience confirm? Report this Post to the Staff

collector.detector Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 2:01 pm Given the fact that they only minted 501, you only paid $42, and the 1 is wrong, I'd say fake. Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 11:43 pm Can you show a picture of the edge that is clear and in focus? Most of the Numismatic Forgeries have split tail reeds which is a dead give away. Report this Post to the Staff
