Answer
Hello,                

I am not an expert on foreign coins. From what I see at the coin shows the coins from Portugal sell at very low prices unless they contain precious metal.
I do use the "Standard Catalog of World Coins" for information. Every library has a copy in its reference section. It lets you know how many were made, what metal it is and lists a value as well. The Standard catalogs come in volumes each covering about a 100 year date range.  

Sorry I could not be more help but I know another expert in this category at this site who can answer you.

The 1968 US dime is very very common it is only collectable in Mint State Uncirculated grades. and sells for less than one US Dollar.
