XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 05/17/2019 11:41 pm This came in a foreign wholesale lot a bought a few months ago. I didn't think much of it at first since its a very common date, but since it appeared uncirculated I put it in a flip. On looking at it again I noticed it was practically mark free! What do you think this one will grade at, I'm planning on sending it out for grading. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/18/2019 10:36 am Over the years, I have seen quite a few of these in dealers' low price scratch boxes, in quite high condition, with strong luster. This one a bit better condition than the average of those that I have seen. It should be better protected, due to the nice condition. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/20/2019 12:35 pm AU-55, perhaps 58. Nice example. Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 05/20/2019 2:47 pm That's a proud loooking coin. The blacksmith is an allegory of the hard work of Native Phillipinos, rebuilding their future. It's a shame that so many pieces, ended up in Manilla bay. BTW, I wou;ldn't send it in. Even one in 66, sells for way less than 100. Edited by fioti 05/20/2019 2:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 05/20/2019 5:00 pm The examples of 66's on PCGS's website have significantly more contact marks than this example. I'm sending it in and hoping to get a 67, if it comes back at 66 I should break even. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...5-s-5c/90233 Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/20/2019 6:47 pm If the coin in the link was a diamond, it would be graded 'VVS1'. (=MS67) - there is a small nick above the smoke plume from the volcano. OP's coin even better! = flawless ! Report this Post to the Staff
