    The designation has been around as long as I can remember - it's nothing new. In a nutshell the reverse of the coin was struck with dies that were not intended to be used until 1940 when slight changes were made.

    I did ;) I think the coin in the photo though was a proof---mine is a Business Strike.

    Business strikes are coins stuck for regular circulation.
