Philippine Currency

I found 2 in a coin shop in Paducah KY, along with Panama, Mexico and 2 Great Britian Victoria type sets. Kept the one's I didn't have and sold the rest on Ebay. They usually sell on Ebay for $30-$50.

Sorry for the triple post. My computer went a little crazy.

 

I thought you were really rubbing it in. I look on ebay when I think about it but have yet to see one there.

 

Keep checking Ebay, they do show up. I got my 2 Austrailian type albums and the Canadian type album on Ebay.

 

This was my first gold purchase about 15 years ago. I forgot I even Had it...
I think its been cleaned, but I picked it up pretty cheap.



Oh, and to the OP, I hope you don't mind that your thread kinda got taken over

 

Nice gold piece, cleaned or not its got good details.

 

Here's some silver peso's from the 60's

 

Silver 10 centavos.

 

A few more oldies.




I wish i had the uncirculated versions

 

Here's a few of my coins/medals starting with a bronze then silver 'Wilson dollar' and the 50 centavos Philippine commemorative honoring General MacArthur.

 

Very nice Isabel's, I still need all 3, 10,20,50 centavos. I'm, looking for nice vf-ef like your's. No luck so far, ebay has been my main source. I'm going to the Tennessee State coin show in Chattanooga the 1st weekend in March, maybe some luck there, about 120 dealers.

 

Here's a couple more coins starting with the 1918 5 centavos mule. It's in rough shape but a tough coin to find. Next is my favorite the 1945 10 centavos double die which is pretty dramatic.

 

Nice dd... I like em

 

I think I have the 10 somewhere around here. I've had these for along time. I was surprised to see how much these are selling for now days. Let me know if you find some at the show.

 

1925 Culion Leper peso



INFO:
The Culion Leper Colony was a former leprosarium located on Culion, an island in the Palawan province of the Philippines. It was established by the US government in order to rid leprosy from the Philippine islands through the only method known at the time: isolating all existing cases and gradually phasing out the disease from the population. In addition to segregating the disease from the rest of the population, the island was later established in order to offer a better opportunity for people afflicted with leprosy to receive adequate care and modern treatments.

They even had their own currency.
