Nobody can establish the value of a collectible without seeing it first. Consulting Krause World paper Money (1994), where this is Cat.# 44b, the listed value is USD 1.50 for a "Good" (Where good means "well worn and heavily used", basically an ugly note) to USD 15 for "Extremely Fine", (which means very attractive with at most three light folds, and clean and bright paper, and only very slightly rounded edges). Now this catalog is already 15 years old. Pity you don't have Cat.# 44a, with the Willis signature, which is far more expensive.--Jeroen.

A photograph would help here. It can be mailed to me.--Jeroen.

It might, I cannot tell. However, for coin collectors, coins that have been placed in bracelet often loose considerable value, as they are damaged in the process.--Jeroen.

It may be some kind of amulet or religious medallion. I have no clear idea.--Jeroen.

Whenever you buy coins, you should observe them closely. If they are kept in holders, and you are not allowed to open them to see the coin directly, you should not buy them. My interaction with rude and arrogant sales people is typically very short.--Jeroen.

Leahrsy (ace debatian) - fake coins, he collects rare coin pictures from the net and posts them on his aution. the coins you will receive of course will be different.

Philippine_badjao - same as leahrsy, his pictures are collected from the net, then sends you a fake gold plated coin.

I hope ebay Philippines become more strict in its membership so that the local numismatic community's image would no longer be stained by these scammers :(

I am not a coin valuation service, and nobody can say anything on the price of a coin without seeing it, and preferably holding it in his hands. The price of a coin is determined by the force of supply and demand, and depends much on its condition (grade) -- coins in fine condition are worth much more than those worn out. Note that the term 'Good' in grading coins means something different from what common sense dictates. If you want to get some idea, look at ebay for similar coins, and check prices here. If you want to sell, take some pictures of your coin, or even better, have it professionally graded, and then offer it for sale on ebay or another large auction site. Please don't ask me for prices of coins.--Jeroen.

Dominic, this person is just going through a difficult phase, imagine how he must suffer from carrying a name that could not be more Spanish (and identical to that of a family that surely was able to raise to unprecedented wealth already under Spanish rule)--Jeroen.

P.S. Next time remember to bow your head to the guardia civil or risk being beaten-up again!!

Those who forget their history are bound to repeat it. Read "Noli Me Tangere" (again?), and try to establish how much of it still rings true today!--Jeroen
