Question
I have a coin that is a little smaller than a silver doller. On one side is a ship passing through the pannama canal with 19 on one side and 15 on the other. On the flip side is a woman holding what appeares to be a flag and at her feet is some sort of anamal in the backround is a city.Surrrounding the coin are the words San Francisco Pannama exposition 1915. I haven been able to find out what it is.

Answer
Ron, this isn't a coin but rather a token for the 1915 San Francisco Pan Am expo of 1915.  Try going to www.ebay.com and doing a search for 1915 token or San Francisco Expo token and other variations and you should find some like your being sold.  Also try similar searches at www.google.com.  Jim Lawniczak
