dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 01/20/2023 10:41 am I think this is a Centavo from the Philippines. The obverse has been completely rubbed/worn smooth. I'm not 100% sure this is what I think it is. It was in my Mom's coin box. Any ideas? The pictures aren't my best effort. Edited by dsking 01/20/2023 10:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 01/20/2023 11:11 am doesn't appear to be copper/nickel, so I think you're correct and this is a 1915 Philippines 1 centavo I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set \| Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 01/20/2023 6:25 pm @dsk, one way to help us figure out the denomination is by using the weight and diameter. Can you please measure these and add to this thread? Thx.
