<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 476225, member: 66&quot;]Yep we struck coins for them from 1903 to 1935 as a US protectrate, the three coins set in 1936 to mark their change to Commonwealth status, and the two coin set in 1947 to mark their change in status to independence.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as a commemorative, in general they should only be for fifty years anniversaries or multiples of fifty years.&nbsp; Odd anniversaries come across as just being money grubbing attempts and not serious commemoratives.&nbsp; There is nothing that fits a fifty or hundred year anniversary with the Phillippines&nbsp; until 2036.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You are assuming they strike ALL of the coins authorized and then melt down the ones they don&#039;t sell.&nbsp; My bet is they don&#039;t do that.&nbsp; They strike a portion for immediate delivery and then basically strike to order so they never have more than a small amount more than needed to fill orders.&nbsp; That&#039;s why so many people have to wait while their coins are on back order, because the MInt DOESN&#039;T strike all of the coins and orders have overrun stock on hand.&nbsp; So once the order period ends they never have more than a small number of coins that have to be destroyed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
