<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1388526, member: 10103"]Most of the pre-commonwealth issues wound up in Manila Bay prior to the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in 1942. US forces were unable to secret all of the bullion and silver out of the country by submarine so they resorted to sinking it in the bay in hopes of reclaiming it after the cessation of hostilities. It's rare to find any of these without some sort of cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
