Comment
NOTE (for KM#208.2):Almost all dies from 1946-1951 show at least faint traces of overdating from 1945. Coins with absolutely no underdate, and those with very bold underdate, are generally worth more to advanced specialists. Varieties exist.
BB variant from 1945 on the reverse has one "B" on the wreath and another on field below CENTAVOS.
