It's been a while since I've had anything post-worthy, but I had a fun nickel box today that included a few 2009s, a 1938d (hole-filler), a 42-p war nickel, and this interesting 20 centavos coin, that was minted in Denver, and stuck out with a nice reeded edge.

Apparently, Philippines coinage was minted in the US, rather at the Manila mint, during Japanese occupation during WWII. 75% silver to boot! Just a really pretty coin, IMO.

Happy hunting everyone!
