According to my way of thinking (in line with my theory as above)
an XRF test confirm at .900 silver does not conclusively support either my or Dearborn's theories.
Nevertheless, a confirmation of .900 silver could reasonably support either theory.
Bottom line: - further physical investigation required.

I like @Dearborn's idea. The low weight, thinness, and slightly irregular border suggest that it wasn't struck on a standard planchet. Metal analysis would be helpful.

Look at the details in the hair. There is a lot missing. This coin is worth submitting to a TPG. If it is legitimate it's worth over a grand. |

Great information and fun to hear different theories. The measuring is beyond my capabilities at this point. Getting a batch together for grading today. Will give an update when they are returned. Thanks

Thanks Look forward to seeing the results on this one  For others, sometimes you can also consider contacting an auction house first such as great collections who can sell it for you if you either arent comfortable selling yourself such as ebay or dont have accounts with a grader like NGC or other coins to submit when the value on the individual coin may not be high to send alone for grading in some cases. Since the auction house will do grading before the selling they can also sometimes give opinions up front which can be very helpful in some cases but in a few like with minor errors or fancy serial numbers and similar, might not be worthwhile to involve them due to all the costs added up and they may not really know enough to suggest to use their services. In this case its worthwhile due to the value it will hold if authenticated. |

@Datadragon Good info, hadn't considered that auctions would go through the grading process. Looking at the collection as a whole, if putting $x in and the value is $xx on the backside, thats good enough. Even if a few coins aren't worth the process individually. These might be great items for a few nephews to start a collection with. Unless there's a time frame advantage to using an auction house directly, I'll be submitting to NGC through a local dealer. Then evaluate what coins will be for sale and how to sell them. Will absolutely keep this community updated along the way. Thanks

You're going to lose some, but you'll win more on the whole lot.

The surfaces look slightly grainy and there isn't much or any metal flow. These are not necessarily disqualifying observations. The planchet is too light for a silver dime. So it might be a foreign planchet.

More I see, more I believe all those coins can do themselves an Heritage Prestige Auction. No words, just superb.

Thats awesome, and Mike Diamond was on track. John1, yes the Central Bank of the Philippines (CBP) commissioned again the US Mint to produce its second series of coin. In May 5, 1967, CBP minted its second coinage through US Mint called Pilipino Series consisting of 5 denomination - 1 sentimo, 5 sentimos, 10 sentimos, 25 sentimos and 50 sentimos. This coins were struck by San Franciso Mint and Philadelphia Mint. The official coat of arms of the Republic of the Philippines appears on the reverse with the legend "Republika ng Pilipinas" around it. https://www.numismatics.ph/coins/pilipino-series/ edit, however those dont appear to be silver. Other silver coins from that timeframe are shown here different than the label https://www.silveragecoins.com/en/l...y=77&state=0 We learn something every day it seems. Start looking  Edited by datadragon
