<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3174058, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;ll add one more thing to this discussion - </p><p><br /></p><p>Specimen</p><p>Term used to indicate special coins struck at the Mint from 1792-1816 that display many characteristics of the later Proof coinage. Prior to 1817, the minting equipment and technology was limited, so these coins do not have the “watery” surfaces of later Proofs nor the evenness of strike of the close collar Proofs. PCGS designates these coins SP.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Care to guess where that definition comes from ? And please note the similarity to the definition I previous posted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
