Demand for eye-appealing and premium quality coins pushes Heritage Auctions' July 20 event over $237,000.
The numeral 2 in the date is triple-punched. After striking only 100,000 coins of the twenty-centavo denomination in 1928, the Manila Mint increased its production in 1929 to nearly two million. Die varieties for the year include a repunched date (9 Over 9), a rumored repunched mintmark, and this interesting 2 Over 2 Over 2 tripled date. It made its debut in the Philippines chapter of the Guide Book of United States Coins in the 68th edition (published 2014). Values of high-grade examples in particular have increased in recent years.
Reverse Description
An eagle is portrayed in the center atop an American shield with 13 stars. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is written around the periphery with the date at the bottom.
