    1) A 1867 4 pesos coin from the Philippines is considered rare and valuable, especially in high grades like XF-45. 2) Many re-strike coins were made in 1868, which have lower value since they are not original issues. 3) For a rare 1867 coin in XF-45 grade, certified by PCGS, the estimated value would be between $3,000-$4,000 due to its condition, date, and certification.

    Philippines 1, 2 and 4 Pesos 1861 to 1868

    As you probably know, Chris, a filipino 4 pesos from 1867 is a super


    coin. The fact that yours is in a PCGS holder and graded XF-45 makes
    it even more super! 

    (Note: counterfeit PCGS holders are known to exist. Check


    outCoinForgeryEBay on flickr.) 

    Many of these coins are quite rare, and all carry good numismatic
    (coin collector) premiums over basic gold value. Be aware, however,
    that there are many re-strikes dated 1868, and these do not carry
    strong numismatic premiums because they are re-strikes. A re-strike is
    a genuine coin issued by a legal government, but back-dated. The
    catalogs report that 51 million 4 pesos coins were struck between 1869
    and 1873, but all were dated 1868. 

    Our picture comes from an avid collector over


    at CoinCommunity.com, and we thank him for letting us use his
    photo. It's a nice coin! 

    As to value, we supply approximate guidance below in two parts. The


    first part is the basic gold value, sometimes called the melt value.
    Compute this value by looking up the current price of gold on web
    sites such as kitco.com, then multiply that value by the weight of gold
    in your coin: 

    1 PESO: 0.0476 troy ounces gold 


    2 PESOS: 0.095 troy ounces gold 
    4 PESOS: 0.190 troy ounces gold 

    For example, today the US dollar is slightly weak and gold is at $1275
    per troy ounce. Tomorrow the price will be different, so be sure to
    look it up. The melt value of a 4 pesos is 0.19 x 1275 = $242. 
    To the melt value, add these numismatic premiums to come up with an
    approximate catalog value. 

    1 PESOS DATED 1861 TO 1865 and 1868: 


    worn: add $0 numismatic premium to melt value 
    well preserved: add $130 
    fully uncirculated: add $450 

    1 PESOS DATED 1866: 


    worn: add $0 numismatic premium to melt value 
    well preserved: add $550 
    fully uncirculated: add $1450 

    1 PESOS DATED 1867: 


    worn: add $50 numismatic premium to melt value 
    well preserved: add $650 
    fully uncirculated: add $4000 

    2 PESOS DATED 1861 to 1865 and 1868: 


    worn: add $0 numismatic premium to the melt value 
    well preserved: add $60 
    fully uncirculated: add $200 

    2 PESOS DATED 1866: 


    worn: add $300 numismatic premium to the melt value 
    well preserved: add $1000 
    fully uncirculated: add $2500 

    4 PESOS DATED 1861 to 1865 and 1868: 


    worn: add $0 numismatic premium to the melt value 
    well preserved: add $250 
    fully uncirculated: add $600 
    4 PESOS DATED 1866: 
    worn: add $350 numismatic premium to the melt value 
    well preserved: add $1200 
    fully uncirculated: add $3500 

    4 PESOS DATED 1867: 


    worn: add $1000 numismatic premium to the melt value 
    well preserved: add $3000 
    fully uncirculated: add $7500 

    Since Chris has the rare date 1867, and since his coin is guaranteed
    authentic by PCGS, and since it has an 'extremely fine' numismatic
    grade of XF45, he could probably sell his coin in the neighborhood of
    $3000 to $4000 US dollars. Nice!
