KT had a fun CRH yesterday! Things were rockin' right along in Ye Olde Castle...with KT watching Thursday night football and silver pickin' from the Royal Boxes!

Box 1 - 1 40% Ag Ken, 6 NIFCs, 1 Panama Medio Balboa
Box 2 - zippo....de nada.
Box 3 - 1 64 Ken, I NIFC
Box 4 - 8 40% Ag Kens, 9 NIFCs
Box 5 - 1 64 Ken, 1 40% Ag Ken, 1 NIFC

Total - 2 64 Kens, 10 40% Ag Kens (half a roll folks!), 17 NIFCs (no Keepers in the batch), and 1 Panama Medio Balboa (for some reason, KT really likes the looks of this coin....very high relief of beared Balboa in his metal armor!)

Anyway, here are the pics...enjoy! And best of luck to all MDers and CRHers in the remainder of October!! :D:D:D

I've seen the Royal boxes mentioned, but don't know what they are. Please explain for this newbie.

Thanks so much for explaining the Royal boxes. Sounds like a fun enterprise...
 
Thanks for taking time from the royal schedule to post the pic of the back of your Balboa coin. I'm impressed with relief on that coin, I've not seen a coin where it is that pronounced. Nice!
 
Ahh yes panamas balboas are quite glorious! Panama truly shows care for its coinage. Nice finds your majesty!

KT read somewhere that the US Mint makes runs of coins for some of the central and south American countries, and in particular mints these Balboa coins for Panama and others. To bad they cannot have such a bold design for some American coinage!
