Owner's Description

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. High grade examples of the date are fairly common, but full red specimens are rare.

It is reasonably well stuck for a Manila mint issue. There is excellent definition of the hair and facial features on the reverse, but the fingers of the right hand are poorly defined. On the obverse, the left side of the shied is well defined, but the eagle is lacking breast feather definition.
