<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 25443348, member: 25270&quot;]Following the Spanish-American War in 1898 the United States acquired the Philippines from Spain. Coinage was produced under the U.S. administration between 1903 and 1944, with some years being skipped. Coins were produced in San Francisco and later in Manila, as well as a few in Denver following reconquest during World War II. Some coins don&#039;t have mintmarks and I&#039;m not sure where in the U.S. they were produced. Something interesting to me is the coins say &quot;United States of America&quot; on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>For years I was trying to assemble a complete set by date, but I&#039;ve given up on that in recent years and now I&#039;m preparing to break up my sets and sell most of them, just keeping a few good examples from each denomination. But before I do, I wanted to share these. Here are the half centavos (only produced for two years) and 1 centavo. I&#039;m missing two dates for the 1 centavo but otherwise it is complete, minus varieties. If you&#039;ve seen this coin there&#039;s probably a 99% chance it was the 1944 S, which pops up all the time. Most of the others are surprisingly hard to find unless you&#039;re willing to pay for them. When I got most of these I was collecting on the cheap, so some aren&#039;t in the best shape.
