    Numista-4349, Krause-Mishler-168, Allen 16.04.

    .900 silver, .7800 oz. Diameter: 38 mm. Weight: 26.95 g. San Francisco mint, USA. Mintage: 6,600,000.

    Their description: "This Mint State example displays a shimmering luster and wholesome details, with limited actual handling across the surfaces."

    This coin indeed has very nice cartwheel luster, which does not entirely show in the photographs.

    I can see the cartwheel too from the photos. This is another example of an attractive MS 62 coin!

    Nicer than my AU-58 specimen!

    Although I do like the toning on mine. ;)

    American involvement in the Philippines began in 1898, when the island territory was ceded to the United States by the Spanish empire at the conclusion of the Spanish-American War. The following year, 1899, an insular government was established by the United States Congress which allowed a degree of Filipino participation under a governor-general appointed by the US President. Over the following decades, the Philippines were granted expanding degrees of self-governance until 1946 when, after the expulsion of the Japanese during World War II, full independence was achieved.    ​
