First Silver Coin! Panamanian Silver!

[Shark27]

Who said there was no silver in the ground here in San Diego? Oh, that was me. Well, forget that. So I finally did it sorta....It's my first silver coin and even though it's not U.S. it sure is pretty and fitting that here in San Diego, CA home of Balboa Park (which hosted the first world's fair for the Panama-California Exposition) I would find a 1953 Un Decimo De Balboa Cincuentenario. The coin is 90% Silver same as our pre 1965 coins and was only minted a total of 3.5 million times, a rather low mintage. I'm excited and now I know the feeling of turning over the plug and viola, a shiny silver coin.

I'm glad your first silver was something different...at least for here in the states.
