Owner's Description
Lyman Allen #4.15 (KM #164) - Mintage: 1,000,000
This coin is very well struck for a Manila mint issue. The stars and stripes of the shield are crisp & bold and the entire reverse is virtually mark free. The obverse is equally well struck with excellent hair and facial details. The fingers on the right hand are very well defined as are the toes on the right foot. There are a few marks on the figure's right hand and arm as well as some light discoloration which probably kept it from attaining a higher grade. Given the crisp outlines of the male figure, Mount Mayon, the shield, and the eagles wings, this coin was probably struck from relatively fresh dies.
Varieties: None have been reported by Allen, however I have a raw coin which appears to have a repunched 9 in the date. I know of no other reported examples, but worth keeping in mind when looking at 1928 5 Centavos.
Date acquired: 1/10/2006 (raw coin)
Date graded: 8/7/2013 (self submitted to NGC)
