1944 S Fifty Centavos Philippines RPM?

Honestly, clearer better lit photos would be helpful.
My eyes are starting to need glasses.
@Mark68 has a good point. The plume of smoke and O is a bit different.

The O and S are correct In person,and the volcano has the details and correct groves it has to much similarly to not be it.

 

I'll try to get better photos the dark and spotted toning makes it really hard to photograph and causing confusion.

 

I do suppose that more that one older 1907-1927 era die was reused in 1944. I also was going by what was presented on the PCGS site as the mule coin and it has a larger die chip in the 'S'. After a bit of rethinking, it is or was possible for the reused die to have a die chip progression that resulted in the larger die chip. The PCGS site does not show a 1907-1927 era coin for comparison. They do not show the reverse that may show any die markers like an RPM or die chips near the mintmark.
I apologize for any confusion I caused in the understanding of what your coin is or may be.

Thats strange,you are correct about the(O) it does appear to be the normal 1944 obverse.But the hair does match for the other die and the volcano has the right details as well.The die chip in the S,so could this be a mixed die pairing?I'm out and not home so can't take pictures.

 

Here's another picture.

 

Actually it looks like a match for the mule but I'm not good with the tiny differences so I'll wait.

 

The regular strike for this coin the volcano has a large block like appearance.This one is shallow and slanted all the way down which also matches the old design die(mule).

 

You have that confirmation bug in ya. I think enough has been exposed about the Variety, For you to put it away and wait for fresh eyes.

 

In hand eyes.

 

Ok I give up about the mule it's not it but what about attribution for the possible RPM?.

 

Are you willing to spend a 100 dollars chasing a 10 dollar fact.

 

It takes $100 to get something attributed?I'm not reffering to certification,it really costs that much to get it verified on variety Vista for example.

 

Oh no, I have no idea of the actual cost.
Its just an expression of wasting your time. kind of like coin roll hunting a full box of cent only to find one 1910 cent. You know what I mean?

 

Yes I know what you mean.I just have the feeling that it would be nice to find something undiscovered like this for example as possibly a new RPM.

 

By all means do what you find interesting and exciting with your hobby.

RPM Attribution Bulletin: Dr. Daniel Griffin, the RPM attributer for the Wexler RPM Files has asked me to announce that he has moved to Arkansas to start his Surgical Pathology Fellowship in Little Rock. His new address is: Dr. Daniel Griffin, 1502 Parham Pointe Dr. Apt. 11A Little Rock, AR 72204. Packages of RPMs and OMMs being sent for attribution should be sent to that address.

 

The RPM might be something to look into. I just don't know if the value is worth it.

 

Hey. You tried.
