Good omens...

To hell with painting the house tonite - Ginger & I searched 2 boxes she picked up today.
I like to look at the ends of the rolls before searching- puts a jinx on the skunk factor.

I got one of those Panama Balbooies..... Doesn't it look like its made from the same planchet at a 50 Cent? Does the US mint make them?

That is nice to see the silver on the ends like that....especially a Franklin!! Yes, throw down that paint brush for a while Tim....lol. Very nice two boxes. Plus, you don't even have to roll the returns......lucky you. Congrats Tim.

I hope your close to being done with the painting.....seems like you have been painting for weeks now.

Yes, I believe the medio (i.e. half) Balboas are minted in the USA using our half dollar planchets. Be on the lookout for older, .900 silver medio Balboas (1962, 1953, and before). I found a 1962 specimen in a box of halves some months back; didn't post it. It's worth about what a common 90% silver half is worth. On the back, it says .900 silver in Spanish. Those were minted in the USA as well.

Nice finds. Good stack of silver there.
