A full balboa purchased at melt? Yes .. full Balboa .. Dollar size. Mine is a 1947 .. so couple weeks before I can post it. I do have smaller denominations, but I think the design is much better on the Balboa. |

I did not find any interesting foreign coins for 1963, so I will post a proof Franklin. I am thinking muddler might start posting some of his cool cameo proof Franklin halves.. so I will look through my boxes and see if I can come up with something different for other years. 1963   |

Muddler, I really do enjoy seeing those cameo Franklin halves. To me it is amazing how they can look so much different ... better being deep cameo. |

YAY! More big copper! With dancing elephants!  I'll continue the trend with what is IMHO one of the most beautiful coins ever minted in this metal. Sure, they're almost as common as sand and when well worn from circulation, most collectors seem to consider them about as attractive as dog droppings on the sidewalk. But in RED-UNC they are the poor man's doubloons!  MEXICO 1963 20 centavos 'Pyramid of the Sun'; bronze; 28.5mm; mintage= 14,869,000:  It's amazing sometimes, what shows up at local coin auctions. How about a whole stack of these in a plastic USA-50C tube?  please, jbuck, don't shoot me.. just be glad I didn't post one of those horrible Hidalgo pesos with 10% silver that seem to want to turn all spotty no matter how they are stored. . . |

My choice for 1963 is a common Belgian 5 Francs with country inscription in dutch. Its mintage is over 6M, whereas over 11M were minted with country inscripton inf french. Worth only a dime under the fixed Bretton-Woods exchange rates, it was nevertheless the largest common circulation coin by that time. The less common silver 20, 50 and 100 Francs coins (issued between 1948 and 1955, with few later commemoratives) were circulating in parallel with banknotes.  The obverse has the image of the Roman god of agriculture, 'Ceres'. The late king Baudoin was depicted on a common circulation coin only in 1969, in the 18th year of his reign. This coin was replaced by a brass one of the same dimension in the late 1980's. |

Set of UK circulating coins for 1963 - this is not an official mint set (none were issued) but is from my Bri-Lining Elizabeth II pre-decimal coin album:  The year when the UK had the longest and coldest winter in living memory, the Beatles had their first two Number One hits, Dr Beeching, new British Rail chairman, closed about a third of the country's railways... and a little boy in Maidstone, Kent was very puzzled one Friday evening in November at why all the grown-ups in the house were so interested and agitated by a report on television showing a film clip of a man in a big open-top car somewhere being shot... |

 Argentina, 10 pesos, 1963 Like so many other Latin American countries, inflation led to these pesos being demonetized and replaced. A few of Argentina's coins have nice, angular shapes. |
