Managed to score this 1934 low mintage Panama 1/10 Balboa online. It came as part of a lot of coins with terrible pictures and a bad description, so I took a shot bidding on it. It seems to be in pretty good shape, the pictures I took are not the greatest and it looks better in person. The details don't show up too well with my phone pictures. This is only the 2nd of these type of coins I've picked up so I'm still learning about them. Was pumped when this arrived! Only paid a little bit above melt value for the lot. I've been buying more world coins lately and am digging the Panama design.
nice coin. 2016 Krause catalog KM#10.1 , .900 silver, mintage-75,000 grade/value F12-$20.00 VF20-$40.00 XF40-$95.00 MS60-$275.00 MS63-$485.00 values may differ from real life market values. I am guessing your coins grade is VF-XF ?
Thanks for the info! Looks like it's worth much more than I paid. Yea I was thinking VF to XF area but I'm not really too experienced grading these. I'd ask your opinion but I know the pictures aren't too good. I need to get a good camera.
Thx! I like the over all design of the coins, I think they are sharp looking coins. I also enjoyed reading about the history behind them and their correlation to US coins.
