Perhaps deserving of "Specimen" status, but it should be noted that some of the coins in these sets are bog standard coins so not all are special. I have also noted that the mintage years of the coins included can vary and got some 17 card sets of Jamaica with coins of various years. I even got some that DID include older uncirculated currency strike Franklin Mint coins of the earlier '80s.[/QUOTE]
