<p>[QUOTE=&quot;travelandnature, post: 553966, member: 17960&quot;]<b>1944 US Philippines 50 centavos</b></p><p>Hello -</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This question was posted previously in a different forum.&nbsp; Bear with me, as I am new to coin collecting and also new to this site.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am working my way through some inherited coins. I have been trying to read up on each denomination as I go along. </p><p><br /></p><p>Currently, I are confused by a <span style="color: blue">1944 US Phillippines 50 centavos</span> coin. I can find no mint mark.&nbsp; However, apparently these coins came from the San Francisco mint ?</p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of the descriptions that I read indicate that these coins were cast in <span style="color: blue">silver</span>. However, this coin seems slightly lighter in weight to me. The color is brassy.&nbsp; Could this be a <span style="color: blue">Nickle-Brass coin</span> or a some other alloy ?</p><p><br /></p><p>What might the <span style="color: blue">value</span> be of this interesting coin ? I realize that the value can vary a lot depending on the metal content and the grade. </p><p>As I said, this is all new to me !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>much thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
