New coin

I got today, a 1971 Un Balboa BU in San Francisco Mint packaging. Mintage figure on the envelope states 6,863 pieces minted. It seems it would be worth something with such a low mintage and high silver content. Does anyone have a recent value on these?? I also heard the Panamanian government pulled a lot of silver from circulation and melted them for the 20 Balboa coin, so that should make them even rarer, I would think.

Well, ya got me... Krause says 18,000 proof Balboa's were minted in 1971, along with over 10,000 proof sets, but I don't see what you're referring to.
