50 Centavos 1917 S


Description : 50 Centavos 1917 S - USA Authority
Mintage : 674,000
Country : Philippines

Well, The1st word on your mid is a "What a bad cropped photo", i think. Ok,you're right. i'm not master in Editing photos, but at least i can make my photos on this blog are lookable. Looks like this coin has decreasing size from 1907. You can take a look at the 1st mint 1903. It has 0.9000 silver fine, 13.47 grams. Since the 2nd version has minted, it's gone to be 10 grams and 0,7500 silver fine. What a shame. Although the size was reduced, it's not make me mad and sad, it is so make me lucky and happy instead. Why?, because is this the one of the rariest coin in this version. I washed this coin clearly and put it in self-adhesive coin holder. You can see the little green spot in obverse, behind the lady. And some dim in Reverse. You can buy this coin on ebay if you get lucky. Happy Collecting! :)
