USA/Philippines - Allen Variety Set
ALLEN-4.08aa 1918-S/S

Owner Comments:

Lyman Allen #4.08aa (KM #164) - 5 Centavos - Mintage: 2,780,000 (Variety mintage unknown)

This is the doubled mint mark, or 1918S/S 5 Centavos, which is very subtle and very rare. The original S mint mark appears very far to the left of the dominant secondary S. This coin is the only one graded by NGC and is the coin used for the variety photos on the 1918 S/S USA-PHIL 5C A-4.08aa Variety Plus web page.
