It's from the Philippines, back when it was an American colony.

Quite popular with American collectors, as they're the only "American colony" as such to issue coins back then.

Agreed.  If you look closely enough at the bottom of the second pic, you can make out some of the letters:  "ILIPIN" as in FILIPINA.

Nice coin, by the way.

I think my favorite coins from my collection are the old, circulated ones.  It's fun to think about where they have been, and who might have handled them.

Dear Dan:
I collect U.S.Coins date-wise and mint-wise.
I see you are an very experienced collector.
Do you have any interest in India and British India coins.   If so, we can trade a lot.
Thanks
George
