Anyone ever pull a 40% or 90% Panama Medio Balboa searching halves?? I got a copper-nickel clad 1975 earlier this month. Love that coin...I cannot ever find any of these in dealer foreign junk silver bins either.
I just sold a bunch of clads on here. I think they look great - very nice traditional looking coin. I wouldn't have parted with them if I didn't already have a broken up proof set that I found in a junk box.

I've seen these coins before, but I do not actually own one. Beautiful indeed. Panama pennies look like tokens. See my post "Panama Coins" in the copper penny bullion section.
Never found one myself, but over on treasurenet another member there found a few and I traded a 40% Kennedy for it. Nice coin, very unique.
