You are asking about a 1/4 Balboa coin (KM#11) from Panama. The coin is 24.25mm in diameter, weighs 5.65 grams, and is mad of copper-nickle clad around a copper core. The obverse (front) has the national coat of arms with the words "REBVBLICA DE PANAMA" ("Republic of Panama" in Spanish) above and the date below. The reverse (back) has a portrait of an armored conquistador and the words "VN CVARTO DE BALBOA" ("One-Quarter of a Balboa" in Spanish) above. 1,500,000 such coins were produced in 1975.
Note that the "v" is a stylized use of Roman orthography, which did not have the separate letter "U" and used V as both a vowel and consonant. A number of older U.S. coins also have the same usage.
From a foreign exchange standpoint, the balboa trades at par with the U.S. dollar so your quarter-balboa coin is worth 25 US cents.
From a numismatic standpoint, acording to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth US$0.35 in Very Fine condition, US$0.50 in Extremely Fine condition, US$3.00 in Uncirculated condition, and US$7.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

Each coin weighs 25 grams and is .925 silver. So 19 coins * 25 grams * .925 = 439.375 grams of silver / 31.103 grams per troy ounce = 14.126 troy ounces. Silver today (2013-06-24) is $19.68 per troy ounce = $278.01.

how much is a sword of kings watch by the royal mint worth
it is a collection of 72 gold on silver Worl;s First Stamps. I bought one of this collection to The Franklin Mint in 1980. I conserve these stamps in a three pages exhibiting book. What will be the value of this collection at this moment? Thst is my question. Regards..........Eduardo Hewnriquez - USA
Easy answer: it depends on how badly someone else wants it.
Harder answer. Go on eBay and do a detailed product sales search and see if any other sets have been sold and how much they sold for. That's a more useful indicator than some catalog where everything exists in an ideal world.
The value of Franklin Mint and other private mint sets are based primarily the silver bullion value, but other factors include rarity, condition, attractiveness, completeness, etc. Start with the bullion value. The Rockwell's Fondest Memories set has 10 1500-grain sterling silver ingots. Silver bullion value as of today is calculated as follows: (1500 grains*10 ingots = 15000 grains; 15000 grains/480 grains/oz = 31.25 troy oz Sterling; 31.25 oz * 0.925 purity = 28.9 oz. pure silver; 28.9 oz silver @ $13.67/oz = $395). The silver price is constantly changing, so the bullion value changes with it. This particular set is not unusually rare. If you are buying this set from a coin dealer or website, expect to pay a 20%-30% premium over the bullion value. If you are selling, expect to get an offer of 20%-30% less. For details of this particular set, you can check it out on my website at http://www.franklin-mint-silver.com/franklin-mint-rockwells-fondest-memories-ingots.htm.
July 16, 2009 The 1910 Barber Dime was struck in 3 US Mint facilities; Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. The mintmarks for these mints can be found on the reverse [tails] side of the coin beneath the wreath. The letter "D" indicates the coin was minted at Denver, Colorado. The letter "S" indicates the coin was minted at san Francisco, California. If there is no letter there at all then that indicates the coin was struck at the mint in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and in this reply is repersented by 1910-P. The values for this coin in the various grades is shown in the chart below. Circulated ............1910-P........1910-D........1910-S G4...........................$5...............$6.................$8 F12..........................$8...............$12...............$54 EF40........................$30.............$50................$115 AU55........................$70.............$110..............$210 Uncirculated Grades MS60........................$110...........$235...............$465 MS63........................$200............$450...............$760 MS64........................$325.............$725..............$1275 MS65........................$650.............$1700............$2300
One full set (100) of Franklin mint history of flight coins sold at auction for $2350. Another set offered on eBay apparently did not sell at $1695. Of course the price depends on condition and on silver price at the moment.
In the case of these coins, price also depends on whether they are in their beautiful Franklin binder, and whether they are accompanied with the separate factbook.
How much are they worth
unfortunately these stamps are worth virtually nothing -- perhaps 10 cents apiece
Typically the value of Franklin Mint items is its melt value. This is the value of the silver if the item was melted down for its scrap value.
Keep in mind that Franklin Mint uses Sterling Silver. It is only 92.5% silver. Pure silver is 99.9% silver. So the melt value is adjusted accordingly. A good rule of thumb is to expect to get about 80% of the price of pure silver.
That said, like with any collectible, it is worth what someone else is willing to pay. If you happen to find someone who wants it and values it for more than the melt value, then count yourself lucky, and sell it to them.
---- It depends...
I sold franklin mint comentaritves for 100 times what they were purchased.
But if they had been platinum.. .it would have been 500 times what they were when bought.
However they were presidential commentarives..
Btw,Franklin mint doesnt use exclusive Sterling Silver... I have franklin mint items that are higher than 92.5% ... However otherwise the above info is good.
I've been researching it and i came up with around $4,000.00 depending on the condition and if it is the 50 piece set.

There have been dozens and US stamps and hundreds of international stamps issued for the Olympics. Without more information, such as country of issue and value it would be difficult to determine any sort of value. Special cancellations and different values are likely to be worth more. Consult a postage stamp catalog, usually available at your local library for exact identification and catalog values.
i have a coin made for Button Gwinnett who sign the declaration of independence for GA in 1776 , on the edge it says [ official medal of the bicentennial council of the thirteen original states ] how much is it worth ? ken
By going on ebay, finding as many as possible that are similar and watching what they sell for. The price is driven entirely by demand.
At the close of the market on Friday 11/28/08, New York silver in .999 fine was selling for $10.36/oz. Sterling contains 92.5% pure silver, and the current value of a 1000 grain bar is thus ~$19.30.
Franklin Mint shows the current value of a 1976 bar at $30.00. The bars were quite common in the 70's, but the number minted was reduced in the 80's and 90's, making those issues more valuable.
