    What grade would you assign these coins? What would you estimate the values at??? I'm not at all familiar with real world pricing of Philippines coins. I can't say I know how to grade them either.We're these coins struck at the US mint in San Fran??
    I prefer to know these things BEFORE I buy a coin....... Thanks in advance , as I thought this was a cool set with a cool display.... What say ye?? IMAG2570_1.jpg IMAG2568_1.jpg IMAG2561_1.jpg IMAG2566_1.jpg

    As a set you can find them anywhere from $35-$50. The Capitol holder is going to add a little. I picked up mine separately for about $38 total. Both of these will show soft strikes.

    I like the holder. The coins are really common and not heavily collected. Usually found in UNC or BU, $20-25 for the peso and $10-15 on the half. I'd expect to see $50 on your set, counter at $40 and settle on $45.

    Ok,
    New question:
    I'm gonna list this set in the sell forum-
    How much should I ask/expect to get out of it...

    Sonlarson and I have already given you that answer. $40-50.

    I am. I have the entire series of U.S. Philippines coins.

    This particular coin was a non-circulating commemorative, so virtually all are in uncirculated condition. As to the specific grade, I won't hazard a guess. Every example I've seen, including mine, has a very weak strike.

    The peso looks a little baggy, I would say 62-63.
    The 50c looks pretty good, maybe 64-65.
    You should be able to get 50-75 for that set on eBay...
    Just my opinion.
