Lifestyle: Business - The 1906-s US-Philippine one peso coin


Did you know that the US-Philippine series 1906-S 1 peso coin values from  1,000 USD to 3,200 USD?

Yes, it is one of the rarest coins in the US-Philippine series according to some reviews of Philippine coins and Bank notes. The mintage of this coin was said to be a good 201,000 but before they were released in the Philippines, the value of silver has risen so sharply that most of the coins were shipped back to America to be melted. Many of the remaining coins were also damaged from being thrown into the sea when the Japanese invaded the Philippines. Luckily, an estimated 250 of them still exist.

Due to its rarity, many counterfeits of the 1906-S peso coin exist, some made from authentic 1903-S to 1905-S coins. I am pretty sure that Filipino coin collectors would love to own the scarce 1906-s USPI one peso coin. So, if you have this kind of coin be sure to keep it safe because it can be use on rainy days.
