A Philippine Souvenir OT

Rick · 21st March 2011, 05:19 AM

I picked this up on ebay a while back .

A 1907 American silver Philippine Peso .
The clip itself shows good age and wear as does the coin .

Lots of stuff going on in the Morolands in 1907 .
It's a nice go with for my interests in edged weapons collecting .

Feels good in my pocket too .

Hello Rick, A very nice addition to go with your collection. I saw another one of these money clips go on ebay a few weeks back and I was thinking of making a bid on it late in the auction but it had climbed in price more than I thought I wanted to spend. Now looking at yours I wish I had bid on it.

My congratulations on your scoring this.

Robert

Nice piece - big coin and lots of silver!

Yep !

Big heavy coin .
800 Silver .

Robert, the clip ended around $32.00 ; the silver is worth 15-16 US .
I figured add 16 for sentimental value and it's a deal .
