Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 09/30/2012 11:07 pm Got this one for study. It's a genuine 1903 Philippine 1Peso coin, weight exactly ok as well as details for a 1903. but somehow someone changed and faked the year date to appear it's a 1906, I'll consider it an error coin as it was a complete job error on the number 03 to 06 a hammer would have done a better job, the more I study it the more LoL I get Report this Post to the Staff

As you can see, part of the 6 is worn down, but still visible. if you were going to fake a 6, you would add metal not wear it down. Plus there is a space between the halves of the 3. A space that would usually be there for a 6. Report this Post to the Staff

It may be a regular coin with some damage that flattened that part of the 6, or a common counterfeit with an also common fake die error. This year is heavily counterfeited, but if it turns out to genuine then great find. Edited by Numismat 10/05/2012 04:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
