Answer by Jonathan D
I don't have the answer, but I would suggest that you go to this site- The IPL Refdesk (link below). This goes to students studying to be reference librarians and they can probably help you much better than those here (here we basically use yahoo or google).

As a reference librarian myself (though I unfortunately don't work in a large library at the moment) my professional opinion is that this question is a lot more likely to be answered from a print source than from the Internet, and I'll explain why if you're interested:

Short version: if it's both obscure [at least to English speakers] and it happened more than 10 years ago, it's not that likely to be on the Internet. (Always remember the Internet is the size of an ocean but the depth of a pond on most issues.) Since the coin is from 1975 and a topic few people are interested in there just is not a lot about it online.

However, there should be lots more about it in the print materials of a large reference library as they would have numismatic encyclopedias, almanacs, and newsreels from around that time. If you have access to a large public or college library, look at the 1975 index for the New York Times and there will probably be an article- ask the librarian for help if you don't know how to do this as I guarantee you he or she will know what you're asking for. There probably won't be anything in the index under 5 peso coin of course, but look under FERDINAND MARCOS and COINS-International and other relevant words. If they can't find it there, go to the biography section of the library and look in the index of biographies of Ferdinand Marcos for "coinage", or if they have no bios of Marcos look in the most recent book on the Philippines or in books on World Currency.

Sorry I can't help more, but below is a link you should use to ask your question.

I am thinking about investing in silver, so does the US tax:

Fine Silver Coins
Junk Silver Coins
Silver Bullion?

Thanks!!

Answer by tro
between two individuals who probably are not reporting it anywhere? not likely
if you are trading silver on the open market, same as gold, and it is reported, of course it will be taxed

Question by Silver17: If the US enters hyperinflation, can silver coins be used as money?
I have silver coins such as the American Eagle, Buffalo, and Canadian Maples. The us constitution has the coinage act, which states that copper and silver coins are considered as money to pay off debt. Does anyone know if silver coins are circulated us coins can be used to purchase goods during hyperinflation? Thank You for your answers!

Best answer:

Answer by Spotty J
First of all, nothing in the constitution forces anyone to accept anything specific in payment of debts -- that's between you and whoever you owe money to. The only thing the government forces people to do with respect to money is to pay taxes to the government with U.S. dollars, and accept payment from the government in US dollars. Everything else is a private affair. We standardize on the currency that the government collects and spends because it would be pointless and inefficient to do anything else.

In the case of hyperinflation, we'd still all be using the usual currency, it would just take more of it to buy stuff. No, people are not going to start spending collectible silver coins as cash. Actually, people would hoard such things in a high-inflation scenario, not spend them as they would be a way to retain value. Canadian coins are not and will not be legal tender in the U.S. in any circumstance -- though again, "legal tender" refers to what the government collects and spends -- any private business is free to accept anything you have to offer including your dirty laundry, if they are willing to accept it as payment.

Question by -"Artii. !": How much would a 1943 Silver-looking penny cost right now in 2010?
I have a 67 year old penny and I was wondering how much it cost since it's so old.

Best answer:

Answer by fatboysdaddy
This steel clad penny is worth about $.15 to about .00.
If it has been clean then it is worth less. I have about 50 of them.
Now if you had one of the very few copper 1943 pennies then you are talking about lots of money. Over ,000.00 for it.

Question by tony: what US silver dollar coins were made 1900. I have one coin from 1900 and can't figure out the name of coin?
I have one coin from 1900 and can't figure out the name of the coin, It is a silver dollar. In front of coin it says liberty in god we trust and has the date 1900. And has a women standing up with her hand out. And in back of coin it says United states of America. 1 oz fine silver one dollar, I know for sure is is not a Morgan dollar.

Best answer:

Answer by jabbotuk
It sounds like a commemorative coin - legal tender but not standard issue - because standard issue would not bear the inscription "1 oz fine silver".

Question by Simply Ώ: Who else thinks that our government should be cut back to bare minimum for an economic stimulus?
Cut out most programs, cut back all unnecessary government, stop the war and save the money, reduce the IRS by 60% or better and cut back every single nickle that is not completely necessary and put that money back into the pockets of the taxpayers? Good economic stimulus or just wishful dreaming?

Best answer:

Answer by wachirasa
yes in a perfect world Government would be actually cut down, and don't be fooled when politicians say they are giving you a tax cut, what they are actually doing is cutting back the increase in taxes from like 10% to 5%, they are always growing

Question by Beth: Any good places to find or buy junk silver coins?
I'm looking for junk silver in quarters, dimes, and copper pennies. Here's some places I have already and let me know if you have other suggestions, thanks.

Grocery store change
Banks
Laundry mat business
Coin collectors
website mint companies

Best answer:

Answer by curtisports2
Well, what are you looking to pay, face value or the going rate?

For face value, you can try going through your change or sorting through bank rolls. This isn't going to yield much. With high prices back in the news again like 1980-91, the average person is paying a lot more attention to their change. Sorting of bank rolls has picked up.

Unless you own the laundromat. good luck finding an ignorant owner who doesn't know about silver coins.

As for collectors, they expect to get near 'melt'. Websites charge a premium above 'melt'.

So, what are you willing to pay? I'd be happy to unload my stash of 'junk' silver for an ounce.
