U.S. Mint Bald Eagle Coin

Question by Slick: What would this coin be worth?
It is from 1945. On one side it has a coat of arms with the Bald Eagle on top, and on this side says 'United States of America". the date 1945, is also found on this side.

Then, on the opposite side, it says "fifty centavos" at the top. At the bottom on this side, it says "FILIPINAS".
Pictured on this side is a man/woman wearing a robe standing next to a bird bath/water stand filling a ladle.

What would be an estimate on this coins value, and where is it from? The condition is fair to good.

it is a post-war Phillipines coin.

I would contact Littleton Coin for a value.

Question by Max: Would anyone know where this coin can be purchased or what it is?
I found a large gold coin with a the words "Florida Flamingo" (2 standing flamingoes on it) on one side and "National Wildlife Outdoor Series A" with a bald eagle on the other side. Would anyone know where to get more info about these? My kids think this coin is a 'lucky charm' ...LOL

It is a medal not a coin. It is gold colored and not real gold. This type item goes back to the 1960's when private mints and companies tried to get on the coin band wagon. Coin collecting was real hot then and even through the 1990's they tried to sell their wears. However the federal trade commission finally caught up to them and they had to watch how they sold them and could not call them coins. Unless the name of the company is on them you may never find out who made it. Values range from each in aluminum to a few dollars in brass or copper and for the dollar size silver ones. Hope this helps. Maybe it is a lucky charm for you or the kids.
