Went out Saturday to a few of my favorite sites. Best find of the day was this 1885 Spanish silver 10 centimos. My research so far indicates these coins were largely in use in the Philippines. The house I found it Dates back to 1930's. So Im wondering how that coin got there. Perhaps some returning WW2 vet got it in the Philippines and brought it home. Looks like it might have been soddered for use as a necklace
