Hey guys, I found this 1962 coin from Panama.. It says "VN. Decimo. DE Balboa" on the front. And "Republica De Panama" on the back.. I looked on google, but I didn't see anything definite as far as it having any silver.. Any info is much appreciated! HH!

yes sir, 90%er

That's awesome! Thanks! Weird thing is that the coin doesn't have that "silver" sound when you drop it on the table.. But I just saw on the back, it says ".900" in super small letters.. So it's definitely silver.. HH

Mine have a silver sound, but the pic shows no suspicion of being counterfeit.

Hey huge, congrats on the silver balboa. My understanding is that the US mint produces panama's coinage and that they are silver in the same date range as American.
