Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 11:33 pm Would appreciate comments on grade level and rarity or commonality for this 1945 Ram edition Shilling, Does it have silver content? It has completely tarnished, or is that toning? (note the difference in picture size was caused by a different scanner setting, its the same coin) Big thanks Report this Post to the Staff

latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 11:53 pm Thought you were onto something there, a 1945 shilling is worth around $200,000. Your 1944S shilling however is worth around $5. From the pictures I would grade it around Vf. It has a mintage of 8 million and is 50% silver. It was minted at the San Francisco mint in the US.

Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 07/17/2009 02:39 am Thanks! Sorry about the year, was handling a 1945 Philippine coin at the time, although great to learn too about the 1945 year value vs 1944. Why is the 1945 shilling so expensive? Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/17/2009 02:42 am Just another note, I have a florin from 1944. I suppose it's SF instead of Sydney? Report this Post to the Staff
bryan10au Pillar of the Community Australia 3306 Posts	Posted 07/17/2009 08:09 am That's correct WD1040 Florins minted between 1942 and 1944 were minted in San Fransisco and Melbourne so they either of an S mm or nothing. Same with the Shilling for those years. Cheers Bryan Cheers Bryan Report this Post to the Staff
