Pandesalapi Valued Member Philippines 386 Posts	Posted 06/23/2010 09:24 am One of my most promising coin which I would like to share to you is this 1920 Bronze Wilson Dollar. This was minted to commemorate the opening of the Manila Mint facility here in the Philippines. These specimens were done in Silver, Bronze, and the most rare Gold. According to some books, Gold pieces of these Wilson Dollars were numbered only to 5 specimens, but most of our circle of numismatist friends accounts to at least 20 pieces worldwide. It is also seldom that I see a mint state bronze of these specimen in public auctions.( ebay has one right now on a "cleaned coin" state) Maybe because of its being a metal that easily corrodes from the very humid Philippine air makes this coin's condition (more of a red to brown mint state) a rarity. No wonder I enjoy this one by a mere looking at it in its place wondering how many are there that exist in this condition?... Report this Post to the Staff

bagets New Member Philippines 16 Posts	Posted 08/01/2010 02:26 am I have not seen this so-called wilson dollar bronze with a mint state condition. you are lucky that it is already slabbed because the moisture of air here in the Philippines will affect its present beautiful condition. All bronze wilson dollar that I have seen even in auctions here were all damaged by salt water. I wonder how much would that cost today? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/26/2011 1:06 pm I received today an email from Heritage Auctions that reminded me of this post. Their weekly emails include a Top Ten list and this week's list was for the ten highest valued tokens and medals sold by Heritage. #1 was a gold Wilson Dollar in MS62 that sold for $74,750 in 2008 Report this Post to the Staff
