US-Philippines received in the mail today!... Okay, just Philippines

I guess this is just a show and tell thread, nothing serious...
I have seen plenty of the MacArthur's for sale, but the toning (and the price) of this one caught my attention. It seems kind of tough to find nicley toned examples of this coin.
Does anyone one know the mintage figures of this coin? Guess at the grade?? Is this considered Dark side, grey side or light side???

    It's a sweet coin, but I would point out that it is not a US-Phil coin, but rather full-blown Darkside material. Hide!

    I see your point, I guess it is not US because it is after 1946.
    Am I correct in that it was minted in San Francisco?

    Yes, you are. You can clearly see the S mint mark on the reverse.

    There was a mintage of 200,000.

    Nice coin. That is the coin that actually got me involved in Darkside material. I found one at a show once and it sparked an interest.
