Sending to PCGS: Guess the grade (Philippine coins)

I'm not in the mood for grade-guessing right now, but I will say those are some nice looking Philippine pieces. I really like the pre-Commonwealth stuff.

That 1917-S centavo has a nice "glow" to it.

I'm with LM as the 1917 centavo is the nicest of the lot. The problem is that some of these are not well struck as can be seen from inspection of shield and eagle, so that eve a little wear technically has the appearance of a much lower grade. The mentioned centavo has probably got to be a "63 RB" but will pass on the others for the moment.

I think the 1917-s will get the best grade and that will be a 64 Brown or possibly 65 Brown...I am not sure about the quality of the strikes for the 1920-s. The 1916-s is attractive but I don't see a grade higher than 62 for that one

I agree with coikat.

Why not RB for the 1917-s? The 1916-s might return in a BB or AU58 at best IMHO, due to the many field scratches of the obverse.The 1920 centavo looks like an AU as well, but it might be the magnification.Let's see what Mr Filam and JHF will have to say about it.

This is my guess:
1920 - MS62BN
1917S - MS64RB
1916S - AU58 - MS61
1914S - MS63BN ( possible Large S)
