Here are two recent new purchases that I hope to be future sales. The toner is very lustrous in hand, that is for sure!
Here is my KM#178 Commonwealth-issued 1936 Murphy-Quezon One-Peso (20.0g .900 Ag / .5787oz ASW) My coin's actual wt: 19.79grams || diameter: 35.74mm
illini420, your pics are some of the best, if not the best, coin photograpy I have ever seen. The coins are top shelf too.
Some Chinese merchants made their mark on this 1903 Peso: Philippines Peso 1903-S with Chinese chopmarks
tmoneyeagles: That's a nice 1917-S .... the toning also looks pretty interesting on your other one. Nice additions. willieboyd2: Interesting chop marks.... I haven't seen many Philippino coins with chop marks. Nice.
Nice everyone! The Philippines coins issued during U.S. sovereignty are one of my favorite types of coins!
