The newest addition to my USA/Philippine Registry Sets is an absolutely gorgeous 1906 PF66 Fifty Centavos that I purchased from Aspen Coins in last Sunday's eBay auctions.

 

I am always on the lookout for nice upgrades to add to my Registry Sets and this specimen is one of the nicest proof Fifty Centavos that I have seen for a long time. It is blast white with deep mirror surfaces.

 

This spectacular specimen is a wonderful upgrade for the 1903 - 1906 Fifty Centavos slot in my prize winning (2011 Best Presented Set Award) USA/Philippine Type Set. http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=51257&Ranking=all

 

USA-Philippines Proof sets were not sold in any sort of protective packaging or cases but were contained in plain paper envelopes and each coin was wrapped individually in thin tissue paper. This method of packaging has contributed to the micro thin hairline scratches seen on most proof coins as well as the heavy toning often seen.

 

USA-Philippines Proof coins in PF66 or above are Extremely Rare for any date but especially for 1905, 1906, and 1908 due to their very low mintages.

 

The 1906 Fifty Centavos is a PROOF ONLY ISSUE with a mintage of only 500. The NGC population for the 1906 Fifty Centavos in PF66 is eight coins with only seven specimens graded higher. The combined NGC/PCGS population is 20/19.

 

The lovely specimen is certainly among the best surviving examples of this extremely rare proof coin and well deserving the 1806 Registry points it was awarded.

 

I have added this coin to the following competitive Registry Sets:
