1918-S Philippines Five Centavos Mule
MS63

Twenty Centavos Reverse

1918-S 5C Philippines Five Centavos, Mule, KM-173, Allen-4.08b, MS63 PCGS. Mintage: unknown. The copper-nickel five centavos piece struck at the San Francisco Mint from 1916 to 1919 had a diameter of 20.5 mm., while the silver twenty centavos struck in San Francisco from 1907 to 1919 had a diameter of 20 mm. Aside from the denomination on the obverse and the date and shield sizes on the reverse, dies for the two coins were identical. This mule has a five centavos obverse combined with the small-date reverse of the 20 centavos.

Fully lustrous nickel-gray surfaces exhibit delicate gold overtones on each side of this important piece. The strike is typical, showing design weakness on the highest points of the obverse and reverse. Population: 3 in 63, 3 finer (6/19). Listed on page 433 of the 2020 Guide Book and on page 1320 of the fifth deluxe edition of the Guide Book.
