PHILIPPINES CENTAVO.....:thumb:
:thumb: I am very of that because I am FILIPINO Nat. American..

 

What happened to very SURE is missing....urghhhh!

 

But the front says united states of america

 

That's what confused me about it

 

Because the Philippines were a US Territory back then.

 

Most of the coins were minted in the US. If you look to the left of the date there is a mint mark. I can't tell what it is in the picture.
It'll either be a D, S, or M.

 

I know.. Did you see the Obverse..Mt. Mayon Volcano in our Province Camarines Sur in ALBAY, Philippines. that's all. Did you see the reverse it say. Phil, One Centavo.

 

It a M on this one

 

The coin is Philippine, but was minted at the Manila branch of the US mint which opened in 1920.

 

I forgot about that being a us territory

 

That's your answer.

 

Worth much

 

Not a great deal, they can be found in really nice shape for about $12-15.

 

Oh OK I planed on keeping it anyway lol just wondering the value thanks

 

The commonwealth pieces (40's) are not worth a ton, especially in mint state condition. However, the earlier pieces from 30-40 years back are highly collectible and have some nice key dates that value into the hundreds.
