Today is going to be a fun day. Why you may ask? I have a doctor's appointment which is always a lot fun... Not! Hopefully they won't be behind schedule, I hate sitting in waiting rooms for hours on end!
Today I wasn't entirely sure what I was going to share, I had dug some older coins out to see if anything caught my fancy. Most of my coins are in secure storage as I don't keep many around the house. For some reason this one called out to me, so today we are taking a trip back to 1907 to the Philippines.
The Philippines were a Spanish territory until the Spanish-American War of 1898. After that it become a United States territory. They would remain under control of the US until 1946 when they became an independent nation. What makes this coin so interesting is that it is a coin form the Philippines, but minted in the US Mint in Philadelphia. And on the reverse (back) of the coin you can see that it it actually an American coin! Have a look:
About the coin:
From numista.com
I'm a sucker for old coins, especially if they are silver or gold. This coin may not be shiny and pretty, but it is 118 years old. Just imagine how many people have used this coin over the years, it would be fascinating to know what it was used for over the years and who owned it. It is only 75% silver which is interesting, most US produced coins from that era were 90% silver. But it is still silver which is the most important thing, and silver is getting more expensive month by month!
That will do it for today's post, I have to head out to the doctor's office shortly. Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below. I want to send out my gratitude to all of you who have supported me over the two and a half years since I started posting here on Hive, it is deeply appreciated. Have a great day everyone!
