Lyman Allen #2.20 (KM #163) - Mintage: 6,282,673

Despite the lack of a mint mark, these coins were minted at the U.S. Branch mint in Manila. A reasonable number of these coins have been graded by the major services, but high grade red brown example are difficult to obtain and full red examples are virtually non-existent. As of this revision, NGC has graded none as full red.

This particular coin exhibits a better than average strike on both obverse and reverse than is typical of the early Manila mint issues. It is very well preserved and deserving of the grade. There is a significant amount of red on this coin for the RB grade.

Varieties: None cataloged for this year.

Date acquired: 9/1/2013 (already graded by NGC)
