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 the poor strike on both obverse and reverse that is typical of the early Manila mint issues. It is otherwise very well preserved and deserving of the grade. There is also a fair amount of red on this coin although the photos don't show it.

Varieties: None cataloged for this year.

Date acquired: 6/20/2010 (already graded by NGC)
