You are asking about a coin from the Philippines issued when it was a commonwealth administered by the United States. You would need to know the denomination (1,5,10, 20 and 50 centavo coins were produced in 1944), as well as the condition, in order to get an accurate value. Note that the 1 centavo coin is bronze, the 5 centavo coin is a copper-nickel-zinc alloy, and the 10,20 and 50 centavo coins are 75% silver.
The 1944 Filipinas 20 centavos coin contains 75% silver and 25% copper. It weighs 5 grams and has a diameter of 23.5 mm.
at $34.50 price of silver spot, it is worth $12.25 approximately.
It has almost a tenth of an ounce of silver in it so it's worth about a dollar from that. If it's in excellent condition, the numeric value is probably also a dollar .
The Philippines was a territory of the United States from 1898 to 1945. Because of this, the 1944 series of 50 centavo coins was struckÊin the U.S. by the San Francisco Mint from 0.75 fine silver. The coin contains a grand total of 0.2411 oz of silver.
Yes, I have one.
If it is a Philippines 1944 20 centavos coin then it is 75% silver and contains .0965 oz silver.
The US never made a "1 centavo filipinas" coin. The US makes cents not centavos. Mexico is one country that has used centavos. Try determining another country of origin.

It's NOT a U.S. nickel. The coin is a 5 CENTAVOS coin dated 1944 from the Commonwealth of the Philippines issue. It has a average value of 25 cents.
First of all the US did not make 20 cents pieces in 1944. Also US coins do not say "Twenty centavos". So your coin is fake. Since it's fake it has no collector value. However if the coin is made of silver it has a silver value.
It does have about 1/4 ounce of silver in it, so it is currently worth about $3.50 melt value. There were almost 20 million of them minted, so it is not considered a rare date to collectors, so to be worth significantly more, it would have to be in gem uncirculated condition -- like it was just minted yesterday.
All Walking Liberty half dollars (1916-1947) have the same silver content of .36169oz of pure silver.
