Lyman Allen #2.27b (KM #163) - Mintage 5,577,000 (Variety mintage unknown)

This coin represents the RPD or Recut "0" Variety. A remnant of the underlying zero can be seen inside the top loop and the zero and the center of the three.. High grade examples of the date are fairly common, but full red specimens are rare.
