    The 100 balboas seems rare, did not see it often. I am looking forward for these.

    Not 1984 but original packaging:


    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Wow! I like the coin a lot, but the modulus? So very small and basically a tiny amount of gold. Does that price mean above 1500 USD? I think so.
    Hope you got it before the rush; these are available for MUCH less (I think).
    I don't think the Asians like the much scarcer uncirculated versions and seem to be attracted to bling IMHO.

    Wow, great finds and sooo rare...in fact, when searching by google, the results are just your coins. I have the marlin ( is yours silver?) in 2 sets and one separately packed by FM, but the other two...Im speechless. Also the Barbados proof set is so rare, there was one on ebay but available only in US and I live in Europe so I could not bid..I was heartbroke when it sold at a price I could have been able to pay.

    I realize im quoting an older post but if you have enough lead time you could ask a us based forum member to bid for you. Even if it adds to the cost at least it wont escape entirely

    I concur. Do let me know, or others...

    Thank you, but it seems too much, in Japan they tend to bid waaay too much , I lost another rarity a week ago, the final price was just over my offer but twice the "normal" price for that coin (Virgin Islands 100 dollars very rare gold coin made by the Franklin Mint). So I will pass for this one for now.

    It was one similar to this one (bought like 2 month ago by someone in japan), final price 160.000 yen, so exactly double:

    The BVI coin as an alleged mintage of 25. The 1984 Panama Puma allegedly of several hundred (don't have my sourcebook with me).
