U.S. Philippine 1919-S, 50 Centavos Silver Coin- (2 Silver Coins)





U.S. Territorial Philippine Fifty Centavos silver coin 1919s.

THE COINS THAT YOU SEE ARE THE ONES YOU WILL GET.
This is a highly collectible U.S. Territorial Philippine Fifty Centavos silver coin dated 1919s.
From 1908 to 1935 the United States administered the Philippine Islands and issued several nice coins that are eagerly collected today. The same basic pattern of a woman, an anvil, and a volcano was used on 10, 20, and 50 centavos coins, and also the 1 peso coins. There are 100 centavos in one peso.These coins were minted in silver, so they carry value based on silver content alone.

Design

The obverse was designed by Melecio Figueroa and features a young Filipina in a flowing dress standing while striking an anvil with a hammer held in her right hand, her left arm is half raised and she holds an olive branch in her hand. In the background is the Mayon volcano with a billowing smoke coming from the crater. On the upper periphery of the coin is the denomination “FIFTY CENTAVOS” and on the lower periphery is the word “FILIPINAS”.
The reverse design features an eagle perched atop a shield.   On the outer periphery are the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and the year of issue.  To the left of the year may be a mint mark “M” Manila or “S” San Francisco (such as for these four coins) . Coin with no mint marks were minted at the Philadelphia Mint.

1795 Bolivia 8 Reales Carolus IIII Silver Coin with chopmarks





1795 Bolivia 8 Reales Carolus IIII Silver Coin with chopmarks


THE COIN THAT YOU SEE IS THE ONE YOU WILL GET.
This is a highly collectible eight reales of 1795 from Bolivia, Henly. These old beauties are part of a major group of collectible coins known as Spanish Colonials. This coin, dated 1795, has King Carlos (Charles, Carolus) IIII of Spain. Other coins, dated later, have Carlos IV. These were also minted in 1/2, 1, 2, and 8 reales denominations, most of which look similar but have different sizes. You can tell the denomination by the 'R' marking: R = 1/2 real, 1R = 1 real, 2R = 2 reales, 4R, and 8R.
You can see several chop marks on this coin. These marks were likely struck into the coin by a merchant in New York or San Francisco Chinatown to indicate that the coin is a good one, not a fake. Collectors like chop marks and will pay a small premium for them. They add interest to an already intereting coin.

This is an example of the "portrait" or "modified pillar" design. In the reverse legend the monogram 'PTS' is the mintmark indicating the coin was produced at the mint in Potosí, Bolivia. This is followd by '8 R' which indicates the denomination of eight reales. The P and the P are the initials of the assayers.
Charles IV ascended to the throne following the death of Charles III on December 14, 1788 and reigned until 1808. However, due to the problems relating to the production and transportation of new dies for the colonial mints an edict of December 24, 1788 allowed the American mints to continue producing coins using dies with the portrait of Charles III but changing the name to Charles IV. In Potosí the first coins on 1789 had the name of Charles III, during that year the portrait was retained but the name was changed to Charles IV, similar coins were produced throughout 1790, as the present example. The 1791 Potosí coins have the new portrait of Charles IV.
