Description

The listing, United States-1945 Philippines 20 Cents 4 Grams/Silver has ended.

General MacArthur Returned as Promised - With Bags of Silver! 4 Grams of Silver to be exact! Don't miss General MacArthur's pocket change. You will be impressed. Comes in collectors cardboard coin holder.

Before General Douglas MacArthur left the Philippines in early World War II, he dumped every silver coin he could get his hands on into the Manila Bay in order to keep the Japanese from using them to buy weapons. When he returned as promised in 1944, the country was in desperate need of silver coins. So, the Denver Mint came to the rescue, striking these twenty-Centavo silver coins and shipping them quickly to the islands. Look closely - you'll see an erupting volcano on one side! These coins were ONLY produced in 1944 & 1945!

Why thank you very much! I have many items for sale but am listing on another site where I have my own booth. I am working on growing it at the moment as well as building Listia back up. I will be listing more coins soon and many other cool items.
