on the United states Philippine coin it is a 1944.?

Answer 1

The coin had a mintage of 21,198,000 so it is not scarce. It can be found in coin dealers world coin boxes from .10 cents in low grade to .25 in higher circulated grades. They sell for a couple of dollars, if in mint state. It has more value as an historic item they a money one. World war II finally was in the favor of the U.S. and it's allies. This was the first time coins were minted by the U.S. for the Philippines in some time for from 1937- 1941 the Manila mint struck the coins. When the Japanese invaded the mint stopped and the people had to use a special money the Japanese printed. By 1944 the Philippines were free of the Japanese.
