Edit: Found out that the above info that I supplied was erroneous. This con was minted in San Francisco as it was not until 1920 that the Philippines minted coins.

Here's a correspondence, that was inside one of the books, from one of the people that my grandfather got coins, books and supplies from. Anybody knows if his business is still open?

Further development! We found my great-grandmother's "last will and testament", written in Spanish, that gives detail to some of the coins willed to my grandfather.

You commented earlier in this thread that you are interested in having someone visit to evaluate the material and I think your best prospects for something like that is to contact Leo Frese at Heritage Auctions for a possible consignment with them. Heritage is highly respected and will do as well as anyone in selling your collection. click here:

http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/sell.php

to visit the Heritage website. Then scroll down the page and click on Leo's "email me" button (or telephone him). He can make a quick evaluation based on the photos you have already presented and then based on the rough value it may be that he is willing to visit you to encourage your consignment with them. Heritage is a top rate company and you can trust them to deal with your collection honestly, securely, and fairly.

Good luck!

View all the photos again as I have reshot most of them. The new photos are the ones with the metric rule next to the specimen. I read up on the "Photographing" section and tried the frosted milk bottle trick. Enjoy!
