<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SPP Ottawa, post: 2323161, member: 39508&quot;]Short answer is &quot;no&quot;. Specimen sets and single strikes were issued privately, usually to VIP guests, in their own cases (usually a red box similar to the older specimen sets). </p><p><br /></p><p>Longer answer, however, is more complicated than that, because specimen dies were also used to strike proof-like coins, which were then placed in pliofilm PL sets. PCGS muddies the waters even more here, because they will sometimes grade a superior strike from a pliofilm PL set (probably struck with specimen dies) and grade it as &#039;Proof&#039; or &#039;Specimen&#039;...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
