Owner's Description

Lyman Allen #2.02 (KM #163) - Mintage: 17,040,000

As in 1903, the 1904 Centavo was only minted in Philadelphia. This production of Centavos in 1904 would be the greatest produced at the Philadelphia mint and would not be surpassed until 1936 by the Manilla Mint and again in 1944 and 1945 by the San Francisco Mint. The high mintage makes this a fairly common coin in this series.

Despite the relatively high mintage, few if any full red examples have been certified for this date, so RB coins are generally all that is available.

I was pleased to happen upon this high grade RB example.which exhibits typical striking characteristics for Centavos minted in 1904.

Varieties: None cataloged for this year.

Date acquired: 7/12/2011 (already graded by PCGS)
