I just want other opinions on the coin to see what you think it is. The coin is in MS60 condition.

You said 50 centavos an it says one. And maybe the "S" MM is upside down, I don't know.

Note: NOT A FOREIGN COIN! It is from the US. [unless you are outside the States.] The Phillipines were a US territory form the Spanish American war (1898) to their independence after WWII. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   07-03-2009, 07:22 PM   #4 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,426 Blog Entries: 1 ok, I completely missed the point of the question. The MM does look inverted. __________________ Last edited by coinman0456; 07-03-2009 at 07:26 PM.   07-03-2009, 08:37 PM   #5 (permalink) just coins Just coins dealer   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: upstate NY Posts: 1,313 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Treashunt JC: In order: 1) Yes, die clash, but not a recent one. 2) Yes, inverted MM.

Treas do you know the value on this coin since it has two major errors on it, and I think it;s in Ms 62 or better. I am not that familier with the grading system on these ,and the value i do know how to grade canadians but not these. Were would I get info on these particular errors on this coin and a grading system Thanks Joe   07-03-2009, 09:00 PM   #6 (permalink) jessash1976 "RPM"-Re-Punched Mind     Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Owosso, MI Posts: 872 My Mood: I think as a normal version the Whitman has it @ $1.50 to $3.50. I wouldn't know what the error would be worth, but maybe he does.   07-03-2009, 09:15 PM   #7 (permalink) just coins Just coins dealer   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: upstate NY Posts: 1,313 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by jessash1976 I think as a normal version the Whitman has it @ $1.50 to $3.50.

The inverted MM is very rare there's only serveral out there the clash mark who knows the rareity rating scale on this coin I;m not famlier with there's two errors on this coin, and the coin is in nice condition which will bring the value up more There's not that much info on this coin but they are getting very popular over the years ,without errors on the coins , the coins design is very interesting a really nice looking coin ,and it's a United States coin thet even makes it more valuable.

Joe you may have found a new unknown type of Die clash 1944-S Centavo , I am pretty sure the inverted S is known. I will find my books and look it up if there a known clash that matches your photos. *I would sent the photos to John Wexler or Ken Potter they know more about clashes than I do. __________________ no one right 100% of the time ***The only dumb question is the one not asked***   07-10-2009, 08:23 PM   #9 (permalink) jessash1976 "RPM"-Re-Punched Mind     Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Owosso, MI Posts: 872 My Mood: I really do like those Philippine, Mexican, and Cuban coins.
