Philadelphia mint, KM-PS4. Mintage of only 500 sets, many of which were dumped in Manila bay, with resulting salt-water damage, in advance of the Japanese invasion. A truly unbelievable example of this rare Proof set, with no pieces certified below Proof 67 and three pieces, including the 50 Centavos and Peso, certified in PR68. Undoubtedly, the finest known set of this popular Proof-only year. Superb eye-appeal, with naturally toned, fully lustrous, surfaces and no apparent flaws. Ex. Ira and Larry Goldberg Coins and Collectibles sale 47, May 25, 2008, Lot 3018, where it sold for the hammer price of $24,000.
