Panama Balboa coins?

Is that a 2.5c? Sure looks like a pretty high grade coin to me I just sent mine to NGC last wed

50 centesimos. I think it is AU grade ? I paid $100 about 12 years ago

 

only have two

 

If you want a challenge, pick up one of the old Dansco Panama albums (not the type set, the one with each date). Talk about pricey, especially for some of the key dates!

 

All my other Panama coins are in this thread already... Link: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/going-to-panama-soon-any-suggestions-re-coins.229552/

 

and this beautifully toned coin...

 

Oh that’s right, ya those ones are spendy I’ve only got one..yours is much nicer lol

 

Here’s a few of the ones I just submitted..

 

Panamanian coins are an interesting series to collect. Many can be had from foreign junk boxes for a little above silver content with some exceptions, particularly some of the large silver coins of 1904 and 1905.

 

Here is one of those big ole bad boys....GTG at PCGS...

 

Wow that’s a monster, I’d def send that in to have graded....
Lol no you beat me to it! well done vn coin

 

Wow! That coin took my breath away. The grade on that coin gets another wow from me. I really like the toning too. The feathers on the helmet are so nice too. and.....it is the tougher date too 1905 wow. I would send that coin in to be graded PCGS or NGC.

Yes thanks, that was gotten from an old dealer years ago.

 

Lol from what little I’ve seen you post you remind me of myself, nice know I’m not the only one that has been impulsively buying every silver Panama coin I see at a decent price...if anyone’s interested in any of them at least count I had about 35 1904 5c, 8-10 10c and 3-4 25c....along with about 25 1930-47 1/10...10-12 1/4 and 5 or so 1/2...oh and at last count 21 1931-1947 balboas....all of the 47s are BU, have sent a few in for grading and eventually plan to fill up a while 50 case full of em graded thru NGC, obv a longer term goal

 

Thanks for all the pics and info folks.

 

OK, here are a couple. Check your colour control (or something), esp. for the second coin:

 

Is there a die clash on the reverse of this one?

These coins are some of my favorites. Thank you all for posting as I greatly enjoy this thread!

Double strike/flipover strike. Graded Proof66 by PCGS.

 

why that 72 graded? low mintage?

 

I recently bought these ones. The last photo is for scale to show how big these really are.
