Not a US coin, but struck by the US mint.
The 'Panama pill' was mentioned in another thread. I liked it so much, I got one for myself.

Does anyone have a complete set of the 1904 Panama coins? If so, show us a family portrait!

    I know how small these things are, but do you have a size comparison image handy for those who are unaware? If memory serves me right, I believe Weiss has a great image to demonstrate the size.

    Nice looking coin... However, never been a fan of tiny coins... too easy to lose, no 'heft' to them... I like big gold, I cannot lie.... :D Cheers, RickO

    Aren't they all the same size once they've been slabbed? ;)

    The series was struck in 1904, but the largest 50 centesimos was also struck in 1905. I am not an expert but IMO the most available seems to be the small "pill" coin. The others such as 5 and 10c in top condition are rather scarce.
    Of note the 50c size is the size of a Morgan Dollar! I really like it even though the subject is somewhat politically incorrect these days...
    By the way GTG if you please, and sorry about the darkness of the 25c.

    Well, just Love coins, period.
