<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 4893517, member: 13307&quot;]Hello again - hope you all are enjoying the last few hours of a gorgeous fall weekend.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had a moment to finally get around to imaging a two-coin set I&#039;ve had for a long while: </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur Defender and Liberator of the Philippines&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This set contains a BU example of the 1 Peso (100k mintage; .900 fine silver; .5787 oz ASW) and the 50 Centavos (200k mintage; .750 fine silver; .2411 oz ASW.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1 Peso has excellent luster (so much so that it was a bit difficult to image today) and a ton of die scratches/polish marks:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1181014[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The 50 Centavos has a lovely ring of toning forming on the outer rim (stronger on the reverse) which has muted the luster a bit more than on the 1 Peso.&nbsp; Only recently I also discovered that the 50c is the Allen-R-1a Doubled Die Obverse, which bumps up the value just a bit:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1181015[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for checking them out - and I&#039;d just like to add (for posterity) that these are <i><b>not</b> available for sale at this time</i> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Feel free to share your examples in the comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
