Lyman Allen #4.14 (KM #164) - Mintage: 1,000,000

This coin is reasonably well struck for a Manila mint issue. The stars and stripes of the shield are crisp & bold and the entire reverse is virtually mark free. The obverse is not quite as well struck with some weakness in the hair and facial details. The fingers on the right hand though are very well defined. There are also a few marks on the figure's knee and ankle as well as some light discoloration which probably kept it from attaining an MS65 grade. One other interesting feature of this coin is the metal flow patterns just inside the denticles on both sides of the coin. These are most noticeable on the obverse.

Varieties: None cataloged for this year.
