Question
hello i was just wondering about how much this coin is worth today and who buys them for the going price,,
its a rex Philip coin has 0 over the M looks like it was used pretty good or maybe just needs a good cleaning up

Answer
Hi Roger,

Rex means king.  It would be King Phillip. o over m usually means the Mexican mint.

However, I don't know what the denomination is or what it's made of so I can not place a value on it.  You may try looking on eBay for a similar item.
