Hello everyone. If i may i would like to request from anyone of you to kindly check, verify and confirm if what i have belongs to the “ MULE ERROR “ variety.
i clearly see a gap between the S and the mountain. But i prefer to hear from the experts. I took some snapshots for ready reference. Hope i got real one.
thanking you all in advance.

I am sure it has been mentioned - to any member - that when asking about a coin page you
have already looked at on here, it is surely common courtesy to then include that link in your
message - rather than make members trying to help having to look for the link themselves.
N#15858
Which does not mention a ‘mule’ error; but …
https://www.phil-philately.com/uncategorized/1944-philippine-50-centavos-mule-coin/
does mention it, and Numista as well. It is a 1944 50c Mule (using the 1907-1921 Obverse).
Not sure how much of all that [fine detail] helps on a worn coin.
Will see what other members think.

So, for a worn - or any - coin, the details to look for
Type 1 - mule More details in the hair. The smoke is more detailed.
The mountain has vertical markings -
and - is straight [missing a bump] on the right side of the mountain.
Not sure about letter S position.
Looks like the normal (Type 2) coin, due to the bump on the
right side of the mountain, near the border. It is not straight.
[Edit - will add markings on a new picture below]

My apology for not choosing the right link. Its because i have this experience where i selected an AI sources. Were i was advice not to rely on them. so i choose the only available on NUMISTA catalog.
i just wish those comments would somehow render my new found coin closer to that ( mule ) variety.
again, my apology and appreciation too.

About to add this picture I made when I saw your reply when making it. Thanks
So the green straight line is the mule, the orange bump line is normal.
Can not tell - the hair, the smoke - either not there or too worn.
Still unsure where the S letter should be for the mule. Looks close either way.

Its getting clearer to me now…that graphic illustration has helped a lot. I felt sad but it is still okey . I always said that what matters the most is knowing what i have. genuine identification .
i’ll respect and accept whatever comes next.
lastly, please accept again my apology and My thanks.
a nice day ahead to you all!

Thanks - I amended our page to reflect all the extra information.
Will look around to find a mule coin picture, other that shown on the other link -
to show the straight side, and the lettering space.

S position -
KM#171 - 1908 Away from Mountain KM#183 - 1944S Touching Mountain
OP's Example 1944S MULE
Easy to spot regardless of wear. If Your coin was a mule, the S would not be touching the mountain.

You are welcome. Rechecking my examples now to see if I have this mule.
Edit - Double checked, I do not have this Mule as well.

The dies for the 1907-1921 obverse were used in 1944,
with the reverse being unaffected.

Yes because the N#4350 obverse link was never identified and not even listed on the 1944 page.

All the information needed was already provided on this thread if one took the time to read it.

“exactly as they were on the 1907-1921 dies”

But not for someone wanting to know the Numista links to the coins involved and even more important, adding this post to the coin page for future reference.
