ecky_ty New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/18/2010 4:02 pm I have recently come across a dime that has raised my interest. I have no idea what this coin is? I found it in my grandparents house after they moved out.. Description is as follows: FRONT Writing: VN DECIMO-DE BALBOA With a bust of a viking looking man. BACK Writing: REPUBLICA DE PANAMA 1982 With a sheild in the center and an eagle on top of the sheild. There are small images inside the sheild, it is worn so they are tough to make out. any help would be greatly appreciated! Identified - Moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

It's on par with the US dollar so it's worth 10c. There are no shield dimes. I think you're getting it confused with a shield nickel Report this Post to the Staff
