Was it DLRC on ebay or on their own site? Did the price go up during the extra minutes? I've never participated in auctions there. On Heritage...
Yes, Figueroa was a Filipino. He was trained as an engraver in Spain, and was appointed engraver at the colonial mint in Manila in 1893....
You obviously know way more about these than me. I just see something and go dig around. When you get back to it I'm curious about that circle...
I grabbed this a couple years ago for $12 shipped because it has the scarcer combination of Obverse 1 over Reverse 3. It really worked for a...

What was the motivation for crossing them? Just curious.
Designed by Melicio Figueroa and none other than Charles Barber. I have not expanded my Barber coin interests to the Philippines but maybe...

No one has said to soak it in acetone? Maybe it's grease or ink and will come right off. Don't trust me though because I've only used acetone on a...
