Question
Hi there.
I have a 1944 fifty centavo, while the others are older this is the only one with a different motif on the US side. What do you think I should do with these coins? I have a few and I also have filipino one peso coins. Worth anything?
Thanks,
Elinor Allen

Answer
Hi Elinor,

There were alot of these coins minted.  In circulated condition their values range from a few cents apiece to a couple dollars.

If they have sentimental value, you may wish to pass them on.  Otherwise, take a good picture of the whole group, and list them on eBay as one listing.

Good luck!

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
