Philippine/American produced in the US at the San Fran mint while the PI was a Territory. In hand not cleaned at all. Pic is taken with a microscope so that may account for your assestment..................Rick

Not a common coin and details look pretty good.

What would you grade it?

I don't think it would go better than AU.........Rick

It looks like a curved serif (more common than straight serif). It also looks like a lot of chatter or hairlines. Maybe it's just the picture as you say.

Still a $100 coin if the patina is original uncleaned.

Hi Tim, I have some other Pesos that are cleaned, this one is definitely not cleaned. Take a look at the one in the date, does it look like it was repunched?
