Panama Coins i'm Demand.
According to a Broa dway dealer in
stamps and coins, the little "balboas.' -
or 212 cent silver pieces. recently
made by the Philadelphia mint for
the Panama republic, are selling rap.
idly for 10 cents each. The ardor Of
the coin collector for Panama money
however, may subside as suddenly as
the desire for the stamps of the little
republic. as an order has gone forth
to withdraw the 2h cent pieces from
circulation. Since the Panama repub-
lie was formed, the government there
has furnished stamp collectors with
between $50 and 200 varieties of
stamps. These have been absorbed
by collectors. who nave paid nearly
100000 into the republics treasury
for them. Now the coin collectors
think they are going to get the same
treatment. 20 the order to recall the
"balboas" has aroused a storm OF
comment In local numismatic circles.
