USA Administration Mule 5 Centavos 1918-S XF45 PCGS, San Francisco mint, KM173, Basso-113a, Allen-4.08b. The existence of this mule has been known in numismatic circles since 1922, and is always described as an error, where the wrong die was mistakenly placed in the press at San Francisco. However, perhaps there were no serviceable reverse dies for 5 Centavos pieces and the 20 Ccentavos die was purposefully used, creating an important variety, rather than a production error. In either case the issue remains a sought-after type, particularly so when seen in better states of preservation.
