Lyman Allen #2.30 (KM #163) - Mintage: 8,392,692
The one centavo was the only denomination struck at the Manila mint in 1933, which may account for the large number of well struck full red and red brown examples that are still available today.
This particular coin exhibits an average strike and high point detail on the obverse and a slightly above average strike on the reverse for this date. The color is a dark even red and very few surface marks. I had been looking for a high grade red example of this date for roughly 10 years. MS66RD is as good as it gets.
