<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 25549941, member: 104064&quot;]It doesn&#039;t surprise me that Charlton is wrong, but I can&#039;t say either way. coinsandcanada lists them in SP and PR, but also as &quot;NBU&quot;, defined as &quot;Coins not intended for circulation struck and sold by the Mint in a special package despite the fact that their composition is identical to the coins produced for circulation. Starting in 1977, third party grading companies, among other references, started to replace PL term by NBU. If these coins have been removed from their protective envelope or original package, it is harder to differentiate them from circulated coins.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>So here <a href="https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?canadian_coins=1-cent-1965-1989&amp;issue=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?canadian_coins=1-cent-1965-1989&amp;issue=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?canadian_coins=1-cent-1965-1989&amp;issue=1</a> they are lumping NBU and PL together. I&#039;d never heard of this NBU category before, nor have I ever seen a TPG grade anything NBU. I&#039;ve never seen these sets in original packaging, so was there ever anything on the packaging that would lead someone to believe they were &quot;proof like&quot; and not just regular strikes from fresh dies? That wouldn&#039;t explain where the notion that there are SP and PR examples came from though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Calgary Coins website also repeats it - &quot;Both varieties are found in MS, Proof-like, Specimen and Proof quality.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s all I got.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
