Footballdude32 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/30/2007 01:32 am I found this coin a long time ago, but I never really took the time to figure out what it was. I just recently did some searching on the internet and I didn't find one match for it. The front says "United States of America" and then the date "1938" it a small picture of an eagle on it also. The back is flat, with no imprint on it at all. Anyone know what kind of coin this is? Image: Front.jpg 21.28 KB Image: Back.jpg 13.08 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Not in great shape but shows what the reverse should look like. Edited by chrycopaul 04/30/2007 01:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

The US had the task of making the majority of Philippine coinage and eventually Manila had a mint as well. Report this Post to the Staff
