dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 1:34 pm Color is not quite correct...I should have used a different background. But, can you tell what it is? I'm just not quite sure. Thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21591 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 1:45 pm Really need the size to determine denomination. If copper, could be either a 1/2, 1 or 5 centavo. Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 1:49 pm Now I see it. I have other one's and have done some comparisons. I'll figure out the denomination. My Dad was in the Philippines during WWII. He picked up quite a few coins and paper money as well. Thanks all! Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15400 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 2:11 pm Agreed that is a Philippines coin. Stuck at the Philadelphia mint. Provide a diameter and we can determine the denomination. Looks like it would be of interest to a lowball collector. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 2:33 pm Yes, that's it Keith12! I could have posted a "Snippet" and you would have figured it out. Thanks a bunch! Now, what do I do with it? I don't do e-bay. I'll just keep it for my Beneficiary to figure out, some day! LOL Edited by dsking 02/20/2023 2:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Raiden Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 2:18 pm Rather a 5 or ten centavos Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95252 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 2:47 pm I agree with Keith on this one.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 4:13 pm It could match the 5 centavos if it was nickel, except that they weren't made in 1915. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4353.html It also matches the 1/2 centavo, but again not made in 1915. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4354.html It sort of has the look of a contemporary counterfeit to me. Does the edge have a seam? Report this Post to the Staff
Raiden Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 02/22/2023 11:33 am It looked kinda like a 13 to me but anyway, this is what it looks like, looks like a half centavos, or a 5 centavos, this is quite the mystery. Edited by Raiden 02/22/2023 11:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/22/2023 1:07 pm Nice coin Raiden! Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/22/2023 3:04 pm There's no longer any mystery. It has to be the one centavo. They did not mint the half or five centavos in 1915 or 1913. Report this Post to the Staff
