Registry Set Milestone by JAA USA/Philippines Collection

[CSJournals-migration]

With my most recent acquisition, a 1906 PR65 Five Centavos, my "USA-Philippines, Proof Issues" Registry Set has reached a major milestone; it is now 60% complete.

 

Of all the coins in the USA-Philippines series the proofs are my favorites. Proofs really bring out the full beauty of artist Melico Figueroa's designs and many of the Gems in my collection are absolutely gorgeous.

 

USA-Philippines proof coins were struck for only five years and in very small quantities compared to modern proof coins.

 

The 1906 Five Centavos is a PROOF ONLY ISSUE with a mintage of only 500 specimens. The combined NGC/PCGS population for this coin in PF65 is 19 specimens with 26 specimens graded higher.

 

A 1905 Five Centavos in PF65 is entitled to 1676 Registry Points. I have added this coin to the following Registry Sets:

JAA,

When a large set reaches 60% it does start to look better as we check our set and the missing coins are scattered instead of large groups of empty slots. I was thinking of you last week while putting coins in 2X2s in the store. I ran across a 5 centavo coin same as pic above and flipped it a few times. After looking at it I put it with the foreign coins and went on.

Congrats on your collection to date!!!
