The 1904 cent was the oldest coin in my collection when I got it. My grandpa traveled the world after the war (WWII) and brought back lots of coins. I was going through some and found it. I was extremely excited. It was an amazing find for me especially because I was mostly collecting from circulation and hadn't experienced a coin from over 100 years ago. In this condition it goes for about $1.00-$2.00. This Phillipines 5 centavos coin is one of my foreign favorites. It was circulating in the Phillipines during WWII which is the time many coins were thrown into the ocean to escape capture from Japan. Unfortunately, this coin came after that time so it is not that rare. It is valued at about $0.50-$0.75. (The reason for the dual coins is because I didn't post yesterday.)
