Owner's Description

Lyman Allen #2.03 (KM #163) - Proof mintage for this year was limited to 471 sets making this the rarest of all of the Proof Centavos. The seven coin Philippine proof sets were produced at the Philadelphia mint from 1903 through 1908 (excluding 1907), and were sold to the general public for $2.00 per set. At the time these sets were produced, there was no protective packaging. Each coin was individually wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a plain paper coin envelope. As a result, many proof coins exhibit micro thin hairline scratches as well as heavy toning. Combine this with very low mintages, low initial sales to the public, and gem proof coins are very rare.

Although this coin is very darkly toned, it has no distracting contact marks in either the fields or devices and it has good eye appeal.
