Anyone know of the existence of Philippines one centavo 1918 S struck in silver? I have done a silver test and it is genuine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 09/26/2016 09:16 am https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-explor...coinid-55072 Maybe it was struck on a 10 Centavos Silver Planchet? https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-explor...coinid-55255 Check the size and weight on your coin and compare them to the specs from these 2 links above.

So it is marginally a tad larger. Report this Post to the Staff

zookeeperz Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 694 Posts	Posted 09/26/2016 10:34 am Here it is side by side with another 1 centavo I have 1936m. this is from digiscope so lighting isn't spot on but I left it as is. so consider the yellow look is the lamp bulb I am suffering with at the moment.

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 09/26/2016 11:04 am Looks painted to me. That would account for the minuscule difference in weight Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/26/2016 3:25 pm You scale is probably off for one thing. The weight you give for the copper piece is way off, it should be 4.7 grams. If the other piece was silver I would expect it to be close to 20% too heavy. (In other words if it was silver I would expect a weight close to 5.6 grams instead of 4.7 grams.) Since your "silver" piece is almost the same weight as your copper one it is almost certainly plated. Report this Post to the Staff
