Owner's Description

Lyman Allen #2.14 (KM #163) - Mintage: 4,330,000

The mintage for this coin is relatively high compared to many other S mint centavos, but it is not often seen for sale in any grade, let alone in an uncirculated state.

This is a beautiful, well struck, chocolate brown example of this relatively rare date.

Varieties
------------
ALLEN-2.14a Large "S" - This variety was always questioned by Lyman Allen, but was included in every edition of his catalog that I own. I think that PCGS may still certify this variety, although it is not on their list of recognized varieties. To my knowledge, NGC has never recognized this variety.

Date acquired: 9/26/2005 (raw)
