I inherited a bunch of circulated Philippines coins dating from the early 1900's to 1936. Most of them are the copper quarters.

Do they have enough value for me to try and sell any of them?

If not, any suggestions as to who (museum etc) might be interested in them?

FINALLY - one of them appears to be a fake 50 Centavos piece - America is spelled Emerica and the "silver" is pitted and looks more like pot metal. Is it fake or just a badly made coin?

From 1904 to 1944 The US made coins for the Philippines, there were no quarters, the were 20 centavos and they were silver (75% I Believe) Their value depends on the exact year of issue and condition, post some pics of both side of each coin. As for the 50 cent, it sounds like a badly made fake to me.

You might want to check and see what they are selling on ebay for. It sounds like they might be the 1 centavo coins, because they are about the size of a US quarter and are made of bronze. If they are the 20 centavos coins, then Rdwarrior is right, and they are made of .750 silver from 1907 and up. If they are before 1907 they are .900 fine, same as in the US.

Yes definitely it has value.
If you can show the pictures here, I might be able to try giving appraised values for you to give you an idea.
