Owner's Description

Lyman Allen #8.10b (KM #169) - Mintage: 1,180,000

The 1914 issue is interesting in that there is no <i>normal</i> date. Every 1914-S Ten Centavo piece has either a short or long tail on the cross bar of the 4.

This coin was purchased as an NGC graded, but unattributed coin. After about of one year of ownership, I submitted it to NGC for attribution. This is a well struck coin and was probably minted from relatively fresh dies. Note the sharp detail in the hair, center line garment folds, and toes on the left foot of the female figure on the obverse. On the reverse, the wing tip feathers, eagles breast feathers, stars, and lines in the shield are also very rich in detail. On both sides of the coin, the peripheral lettering is sharp and clear and there is no bleeding of the letters into the denticles. Overall, a very nice coin. If not for a couple of small scratches, this coin would have been an MS64 or MS65.
