At my request Ray Czahor provided some highlights from his Mailbid Sale XXII. First some information on the sale. -Editor

Mailbid XXII is finished and is being sent to everyone on my email and postal mailing list. The Maiilbid doesn’t close until 25 February 2019 so plenty of time to study and bid. The Mailbid List is 54 pages long and there are approximately 3080 lots.

Highlights are the 1540 coin lots containing significant varieties, Spanish issues, and the most extensive number of Republic commemoratives, sets, and business issues I have ever offered! Included are 270 medals and tokens lots including some SCARCE issues. Philippine under US paper money Issues include 360 lots, many SCARCE to RARE or seldom offered. WWII Guerrilla/Emergency collectors will have a large selection of lots (over 600) to choose from where several are RARE notes.

I have also added a special section of books and actual pyschological and propaganda leaflets and notes that were in the CM Nielsen collection—WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq wars. There are over 70 lots of Philippine and US Stamps including a number of old albums with stamps. Finally, there 120 book lots including several new editions that were published in the last few years for Philippine collectors. This is my largest sale ever and diverse in offerings. I would appreciate and hope that collectors do bid on lots of interest.

1. Salapi, a relatively new book privately published by the Bank of the Philippines and relatively not known in the US. Documents the history of both coins and paper money used in the Philippines since the 1500’s. Nice colored photos of most everything in the book.

Great New Book Just Brought to USA: Bersales, Jose Eleazar Reynes & Carlos Ledesma Apuhim. Salapi/The Numismatic Heritage of the Philippines, 2014, privately printed by the BPI Foundation, Inc.. Large 9 1/4 by 12 3/8 inch format, Hardbound w/beautiful dustcover, 287 pages w/mostly color photos thoughout. Covers from the time of barter through the Spanish and US eras to the current Republic issues. The book weaves history and historical figures through each era covering both coins and paper money. Details are provided about each of the several Philippine & US Mints through their history. I was impressed with the effort that went into this book. Limited quantity available. Weighs 5 lbs.

2. A high grade 1906S Philippine Peso that still has some underlying luster. It is guaranteed Genuine vs several counterfeit ones seen on eBay and even a few encapsulated but fake.

3. A very high grade and rare Pick 101c 500 Pesos Victory Note. This note was graded CU64 EPQ, very few graded that high.

4. One of over 600 guerrilla/emergency notes in Mailbid XXII. This note is issued by the municipality of Maasin in Leyte Province during WWII. The AU grade is particularly high for such a note.
