wesley1969 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 05/16/2019 11:50 am Hi, Recently purchased some silver dollars/world coins from my friend's mom, whose husband passed away in 2017. One of them was a 1909 Philippines Peso. First one I'd ever seen and I didn't have my loupe or microscope with me, so I did a quick and dirty grading and looked it up on ebay. Paid $18 for it. I have been examining the coins under my cheap ebay microscope and noticed this aberration on the mm. Been researching online, and it looks like the s/s/s variety. Any opinions would be appreciated, because I think I owe "Titi Velia" a bit more money than I paid. I'm grading as vf/xf details because the fields have abrasive hairline (old/worn) arcs on both sides. Thanks for looking. Edited by wesley1969 05/16/2019 1:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
