Lyman Allen #11.12a (KM #170) Tilted 6 in Date - Mintage: 1,435,000 (both varieties)
These coins were released into circulation as soon as they arrived in Manila, so very few (if any) languished in the treasury. This is only the second (non-details) 1916 "tilted 6" to be certified by NGC. It's a nice example of this relatively common variety in an uncommon mint state grade. It is also the finest of the two.
As of this revision, the population data for this coin is (1/0) for the variety and (3/3) for all NGC graded 1916-S 20 centavos. I feel very lucky to have acquired this exceptionally rare coin in mint state.
