Most Collectible Coin of the Philippines

Depending on what one’s have developed a keen interest into, people collects a variety of things. From stamps to keys; vases to flowers; mugs to paintings; oil cans to kitchen tins, I personally am fond of collecting coins.

Many people around me have always asked me how much can he sell his coins. A coin can have a significantly impressive amount depending on a lot of things. Rarity is the best factor for your coin to have a great value, another is the age of the coin, it’s significance historically and of course it’s condition.

I am writing this article and probably update this from time to time in accordance with research, for the collectors of Philippine coins. The following are coins of the Philippines really worth to collect:

1903s Fifty Centavos

1903 s fifty centavos have it legend to be very rare amongst USPI coins series in all denomination. According to coinquest.com its value could reach up to $1000 in average circulation condition due to its rarity of having 2 pcs only were known to exist.

1905s One Peso

1905s one peso are one of the most common one peso of USPI series, next only to 1903s.

1906s Peso

1906s one peso are said to be the king of all USPI series coins, I wonder why it richest highest value to the collectors wherein there are 201,000 pieces were minted. Though 250 pieces are known to exist since most of these coins brought back to US to be melted during the war.

Alfonso 20 cents

This is the most sought after 10 centavos Alfonso, a bit lower mintage compared to other years.

Carolus Reales

A very beautiful coin with some nice luster, from a private collection of Mr. Hodreal. Carolus coins are one of the most collected coins of Spanish-Phils series, you can’t hardly see one in this condition in auctions because collectors would rather sell it in a rocket price or keep it. The image of King Charles in these coins are superb that suggests Supreme Authority, which adds to the eye appeal for collectors.

Dos Mundos

Dos mundos coins or commonly called Pillar Dollars, were once commonly used coinage in the Philippines during the years wherein Bust Type coins are not yet introduced in new world colonies of Spain. Collectors always looking for these beautiful coins due to its exoticity.

ESPANA Unapeseta

Provisional Government coins of Spain with reclining coin, some of these coins had “Gobierno Provisional” instead of ESPANA and carries more value than this one, also a star with number inside carries premium.

Isabel Gold

Probably the most common gold coinage being used in the Philippines, comes in 3 denominations, 1Peso, 2Peso, and 4Peso.

Morgan

Perhaps the collectible coin from US is this one, a Morgan Dollar, cc or Carson City mints were said to be all collectibles and carries more premium than other mints, this dollar coins are also being counterfeited and I can even see some of these fake coins being sold in flea markets in the Philippine provinces.

The next time you stumble upon these coins, you surely hit the mark as you can sell any of these for a great price.

Happy hunting!!!

Cheerio!

The Most Expensive Philippine Coin Ever Sold

Image
I personally am fond of collecting old coins. I have an ample collection, and decent if I may add, of Philippine old coins. Though I collect coins for a hobby, some people kept on asking me how I acquire those coins and if I’m selling one. So in some cases, when I visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), I always try to order an additional from my own to sell or give it as a gift to my friends. I always wonder, what Philippine coin is the most expensive ever sold, and how much. Priced at $22, 000 or Php 1,038,136.00 as of this writing ($1 = Php 47.19), the 1903 San Francisco Mint fifty centavos is perhaps the most expensive United States-Philippines coin ever sold. Only 2 specimens have reported and only one formally auctioned for the price mentioned. Do not mistake this one for the common 1903 Philadelphia Mint fifty centavos. This coin is an absolute rarity. How this coin surfaced? The story behind that incident is still a myste...

I am not that young, though I am not that old to have watched the Manga Series Slum Dunk. A lot of people is being fascinated with the game of basketball. Almost everyone knows how to play the game. Maybe, just maybe, NBA really popularized the sports. Apparently, one story caught my attention, and surely, it is really worth to tell ;-) Slam Dunk (スラムダンク Suramu Danku?) is a sports-themed manga series written by Takehiko Inoue about a basketball team from Shōhoku High School. It was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation which had been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe. Inoue later used basketball as a central theme in two subsequent manga titles: Buzzer Beater and Real. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan. ...

Gold in 10-Peso Philippine Coin

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is the central bank of the Republic of the Philippines. It was established on 3 July 1993 pursuant to the provisions of the 1987 Philippine Constitution and the New Central Bank Act of 1993. The BSP took over from the Central Bank of Philippines, which was established on 3 January 1949, as the country’s central monetary authority. The BSP enjoys fiscal and administrative autonomy from the National Government in the pursuit of its mandated responsibilities. The new BSP logo is a perfect round shape in blue that features three gold stars and a stylized Philippine eagle rendered in white strokes. These main elements are framed on the left side with the text inscription “Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas” underscored by a gold line drawn in half circle. The right side remains open, signifying freedom, openness, and readiness of the BSP, as represented by the Philippine eagle, to soar and fly toward its goal. Putting all these elements together is a ...
