After a hunt with Stevie MC, I tumbled my coins and almost had a heart attack when I saw this spanish coin. Until I realized it was a clad. :(
It was so worn down it looked like old Spanish at first, then I realized it was clad. Also got a Chucky Cheese token - sometimes you don't know what you have until you clean them. I know I have seen this Spanish coin before on the forum - hoping someone can tell me what it is.
Thanks
Jonnie

Put up a picture of that one that looked like an encrusted cob, that looked good. Even though it wasnt a coin, was it? I wonder what that conquistador coin is? Definetly clad, so its not old.
 

It's call a Balboa from Panama.
 

You guys had a very good hunt..... id died seeing that as well.

If anyone besides me have a World Coin Book,go to page 614, The spanish looking coin is not Spanish,but from Panama
 

Ron Lord is correct. I have one of those that I got from a neighbor who worked in Panama. Mine is silver but it was from the early 1960s.
 

Thanks Ron, I will check out that book. Good to know what kind of coins are out there.
