Message:: [QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2876298, member: 13307"]Hello all, Just have a quick question about a few 1964 coins I have from the Kingdom of Jordan (I have one complete set and another that is missing the 1 & 5 Fils.)  Checking eBay active/completed auctions, I see that some are slabbed as MS and some as SP.  Does anyone know the difference (just a "this TPG says it's this and the other TPG says it's this" thing?) Here's how each coin shows up in Krause: 1 FilKM 8Mintage of 3,000 pieces (Note: in sets only) 5 FilsKM 9Mintage of 3,000 pieces (Note: in sets only) 10 FilsKM 10Mintage of 1,253,000 20 FilsKM 13Mintage of 3,000 (Note: in sets only) 50 FilsKM 11Mintage of 1,003,000 100 FilsKM 12Mintage of 3,000 (Note: in sets only) So it looks like there were 3,000 mint sets produced, and the 1, 5, 20, and 100 Fils ONLY appear in these sets.  In the back of the Jordan section of my manual, it notes that 3,000 6-coin Mint Sets were produced (book value $2,850?) as well as 3,000 6-coin Specimen Sets (book value $22.50.) So, how do you tell the difference?  Will the Specimen Sets be proof-like in appearance? Just trying to figure out what I have sitting on my desk and what they're worth. [USER=15488]@sonlarson[/USER] - as a collector of world sets, maybe you know a bit more than I? Thanks! (Here is an iPhone shot of my coins for fun - check out that PURPLE 10 Fils!)
