Owner's Description

Lyman Allen #2.15c (KM #163) - Mintage: 7,070,000

This coin was acquired in an ANACS slab already attributed as the 1917/18-S variety with an additional designation on the label that read "plate coin." I believe that this designation indicated that it was the coin pictured in the Allen catalog "U.S./Philippine Coins." I have some regret over losing that designation by submitting to NGC for crossover. The good new though is that it will again be the plate coin in the 8th edition of the book.

Varieties
------------
ALLEN-2.15a - 1917/16 over date in which the 6 is easily discernible under the final 7.
ALLEN-2.15c - 1917/18 over date in which the 8 is easily discernible under the final 7. (This coin.)
Closed 9 - This variety is yet to be cataloged. The bottom of the 9 appears to be closed (like an 8) due to a die break. I have one of these, but have never seen or heard of another, so I am assuming that it is pretty rare.

Date acquired: 2/6/2014 (already graded by ANACS)
Date Crossed: 9/28/2016 (self submitted to NGC)
