Business Strike Issues: 1903-1944

The One Centavo was the coin used in almost all day-to-day transactions and a true challenge to find in full Red because of the hot and humid climate of the Philippines. This set will pose a serious challenge to even the advanced collector. The series also has many different varieties, some dates not found in Gem Red. An interesting fact to underscore the challenge of this set, there are more than four times the number of 1909-S VDB Lincoln cents graded Red than the entire US-Philippines One Centavo series!

Proof Strike Issues: 1903-1908

Like their circulation strike counterparts, the coins in this set were victims of the Philippines’ hot humid weather. Red specimens are few and far in between. This set is a great challenge, but a worthy one indeed.
