Panama 20 Balboas
"gogu" wrote in message ... Ο "Bruce Remick" έγραψε στο μήνυμα news:s5_8g.11497$8q.192@dukeread08... Having become hooked on those monsterous silver proof Franklin Mint Panama 20 Balboa coins by some posts here and at abpn a while ago, I have seen the scarcer dates in that 15-coin series offered for sale with comments like "books at $150". Which "book" might this be, and how recent is it? Hi Bruce! I assume they are talking about Krause 200? World Coins 1901- Present. But I'll be very reluctant in what regards their speed in actualizing their prices... I'm trying to complete the set, needing four of the low-mintage ones from 1980 to 1985. I know that they carry a significant premium over the earlier dates, but never knew where to look to find the relative values. Well, I am also collecting these beasts and I also need the scarcer ones to complete my set:-) http://snipurl.com/lkou Prices are something subjective with such coins, I've seen them ending at $80.00 in the past but I am not following them anymore so after the last silver rally I assume they went up... Do you or anyone happen to know where in the run from 1971 to 1985 the proof 20 Balboas switched from .925 silver to .500 silver? I'm guessing that the issues from 1981 through 1985 are all .500 silver, but I don't have a reference that spells it out. These low mintage later dates all seem to carry a heftier premium than the earlier ones, so the lower silver content isn't reflected in the price. Bruce |
