<p>[QUOTE="jhinton, post: 1606790, member: 24410"]Well, I couldn't let this thread go with out mentioning the beautiful US Philippine issues of 1903-1945! And if you are looking for a truly neat mint marked coin, you should obtain a coin with the "M" mint mark. The "M", of course represents Manilla the capital of the Philippines and the only US branch mint to ever exist outside of the continental United States! Most of the US Philippine issue was struck in the states and usually carry an S or D mint mark or no mint mark for Philadelphia. There are some very tough coins in this series with a few being very scarce in collector grades but a very nice type set can be assembled in a short amount of time. With an outlay of a few hundred dollars, choice pieces in the XF range would make a very nice set consisting of only 16 different examples![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
