<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 26762560, member: 16729&quot;]I am doing research into Republic of Philippines coins, the rather overlooked period of P.I. coinage dating 1958 to 1994.&nbsp; It encompasses three different design series.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am now banging my head up against the INSANE listed mintage numbers for the Ang Bagong Lipunan (Ferdinand Marcos&#039; &quot;New Generation&quot;) series (1975-1982).</p><p><br /></p><p>Radically different mintage numbers depending on source.&nbsp; Some, like Krause, <b>count coins by the date stamped on them</b>.&nbsp; The U.S. Mint and later Philippine Mint sources count the number of coins made in a particular calendar year, regardless of the year stamped on those coins. However, the U.S. Mint&#039;s Annual Report does a good job of ~sometimes~ telling the reader which date was stamped on a certain number of coins that year).&nbsp; And then the Philippines decided to have their coins minted with several mints around the world~!&nbsp; AHHH!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone familiar with this series is well aware of the additional madness of the Franklin Mint strikes (in three finishes~!) and nobody really knowing if those numbers are real or not, especially any FM mintages in 1981 and 1982.&nbsp; This is why I was asking in this forum about the disposition of the Franklin Mint&#039;s archives.&nbsp; Finding their internal mintage numbers would be an absolute coup and would finally clear up this nest of vipers.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is what I have so far.&nbsp; Anyone wanting to help with additional information, I&#039;d appreciate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I have to go with a mintage table like this.&nbsp; Simply list the multiple sources and what each one says.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just the madness involved with the One-Sentimo coin!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1708833[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
