Comments

1898, 1899 and 1900 are referred to as the "Philippine dates." Most of the dimes, quarters and half dollars struck at the San Francisco Mint (S mint mark) for those dates were sent to the Philippines to replace Spanish Colonial coinage after the Spanish-American war. Because of this, coins of these dates are more difficult to find, especially in the higher grades, than their mintage numbers would suggest.
