These were all popular commemoratives (especially the Szent Istvan) that were not typically put into circulation are readily available in high uncirculated grades as originals, with many originals being proof-like. The Artex restrikes for them are all unmarked, and many have business strike finishes instead of proof-like finishes. Note many of the Artex restrikes (especially from the Horthy era) were deliberately struck with different finishes, so you will see varieties that are MS, MSPL, PF, and matte PF.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
