Below are pictures (bad quality) of the very first examples of these that I've seen, and likely rare. There is a bit of an interesting story:...
I'll go also for borderline 64/65. Probably leaning toward the former - note coin has the usual "action" area at truncation of neck. Nice lustre...
Ah thanks Paddy. I really had to laugh at myself for getting it as the only difference from the usual sets with English labels and descriptions...
1982 set:[ATTACH]
I just got this set with the descriptions in Spanish and possibly issued in Panama in 1982. I had previously posted a 1983 Proof Set with Spanish...

Always loved those cancelled Olympic coin dies. Very nice. I am still wondering how those 1982 Panama 0.400 gold Piefort coins got out there....
I think this coin was studied quite a lot prior to slabbing as well. In addition the strike of the coin is just a bit different with some edges...
1977 Smithsonian Jubilee Medal High Relief. Designed & engraved by Arnold Machin. IMO the very best of the QE II portraits:[ATTACH]
I like the design but this is NOT the proof. 1984 FM 20 Balboas in Uncirculated ( all the "freckles" are artifacts and not surface damage, coin is...
You know I love Panama, and have posted many coins. Here is one or two if interested: [ATTACH] But wait, this is an EXTREMELY RARE pattern -...
Charles? Can you send a link or info?
Yes, will post as it returns [if ever!].
Oh, penny I meant to say.
I also have a PROOF 1970 double reverse out for grading at PCGS. These came from “good” sources
