Owner's Description

.750 Silver, 2.0 Grams, 16.5 mm.

The obverse and reverse designs of the 1907 through 1935 Ten Centavos is the same as the 1903 through 1906 Ten Centavos.

In 1907 a rise in the price of silver forced the reduction of the fineness and weight for all Philippine silver issues. In 1907 the silver Ten Centavos was reduced in fineness from .900 silver, 2.69 Grams to .750 silver, 2.0 Grams, and the diameter was reduced from 17.5 mm to 16.5 mm.

Business strikes of the reduced size and weight Ten Centavos were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1907, the San Francisco Mint from 1907 through 1919, and the Manila Mint from 1920 through 1935. Proof reduced size and weight Ten Centavos were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1908.

The 1908 Ten Centavos is a PROOF ONLY ISSUE with a mintage of 500 coins. The NGC population of the 1908 Ten Centavos in PF64 is six coins with seventeen specimens graded higher. The combined (NGC, PCGS, ANACS) certified population for this coin is 25/40.
