Afternoon everyone….
Today I’m going to share a coin that I picked up fairly recently. This coin is in the box to be graded as well.
It’s a 1904 Panama 50 Centésimos coin. These coins were only produced for two years 1904 & 1905. There are far more 1905 minted then the 1904. In this condition they are even harder.

Its a nice vintage coin. Great design and good condition !
Funny the US minted that for Panama
We minted coins for several countries back in the day. Small countries couldn’t afford the expense.
It's a really lovely coin and thanks for sharing.
👍
What do you think it will grade for, @silver510?
You can almost tell!!
It’s mint state. It’s harder to tell on the old world coins, nice examples are harder to find. Conservatively I’ll say MS63. I’m hoping for better. If it comes back an MS64 🤑
Wao another silver holding by you. All these coins looks so beautiful and amazing. Eagle design coin is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
