[QUOTE="7Jags, post: 8250660, member: 78719"]Ah thanks Paddy. I really had to laugh at myself for getting it as the only difference from the usual sets with English labels and descriptions is the packaging. As a side note, quite a large percentage of the 1982 sets came with an "error" on the fineness of the 5 Balboa which should be "Ley 0.500" but instead evidently utilised the fineness "Ley 0.925". In my experience the sort of error mule reverse is not all that much scarcer than the ordinary piece. An informal survey would be about 30-40% of the sets come with the muled reverse on this 5 Balboas. If I haven't lost the interest of the reader, I am still looking for the packaging variant of the 1984 set with only 8 coins in it and was issued that way without the 20 Balboa. It is listed in Krause in additional to the usual 9 coin set. So for the Panama sets 1975 through 1984 the Franklin Mint according to Krause issued both the 8 coin sets and 9 coin sets. The 1985 sets came only in the 8 coin format even though a proof 20 Balboa was made for 1985.[/QUOTE]
