kjmhermione1 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/20/2008 02:27 am Hey. I searched the internet for a bit but couldn't find anything on what this coin thing could be. It's slightly larger than a penny. And looks to be copper. It just says "1933 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". It has an eagle holding up a shield. There is nothing on the back. So what is it? Anything helps! I'm really curious! Thanks! -Shannon Image: coin.jpg 62.96 KB Edited by Sap 07/28/2008 09:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 07/20/2008 03:40 am I think it's a Philippine 1 centavo during the US Admin period with the ~~obverse~~ reverse ground off. (Sap, LOL...at least you had the reverse right) Edited by KurtS 07/20/2008 12:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16934 Posts	Posted 07/20/2008 03:57 am Looks like the obverse of a US-Philippines coin. The Philippines were a US colony at the time. The 1 centavo was the only copper (bronze) coin in 1933. There should be traces of the reverse, a seated figure with a volcano behind him. I have a very worn Philippine cent, and it's very hard to tell that it's there, but it is indeed there. If there's no trace of the reverse at all, perhaps that side was smoothed away. Edit: KurtS beat me to it. Gotta type faster... Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

kjmhermione1 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/20/2008 3:45 pm Yeah I looked up the coins you guys think it is, and that is what it looks like. The back is completely worn, I can't see a trace of anything. Thank you both for the info! Report this Post to the Staff
