<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SanMiguel, post: 238374, member: 3379&quot;]Beginning in 1958, all Filipino coins were minted using base metals. This is similar to the later U.S. move in 1964. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure the &quot;grade&quot; Jeremy was referring to is the circulated condition your coin is in. It&#039;s pretty worn and doesn&#039;t command much of a premium, as far as collector value goes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The nickel/copper/nickel sandwich you see on American coins shows the clad composite...but I think that&#039;s an American thing. Every other country likes their edges to be a single color, and the entire copper core is covered in nickel. There might be a few exceptions, but I haven&#039;t seen very many, and the Philippines isn&#039;t one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
