I like the series as well. I would not get caught up with the mintage figure for this date as I suspect probably less than half the population has survived... While I do not like the design modification for the 1953 Balboa, those are fairly though in 65 and higher. This series is about what survived in GEM and it is likely less than we think.

edited to add... I really like the reverse on the earlier dates- 1931, 1934 and 1947. The reverse of the1953 was modified and technically it is a one year type

I love the design

The 1953 is actually a commemorative.

Good point... I should have made reference to that and just plain forgot. Thanks for pointing that out. The 1953 maybe the toughest in GEM... just not the most attractive.

Love the art deco reverse of the 1931-1947 coins. All but the 1953 commemorative and a couple of the later circulation strikes were coined in the US mints at Philadelphia ('31, '47) or San Francisco ('34 + later '60s-'70s proofs).
