<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swhuck, post: 815948, member: 21044&quot;]SP69 means that the coin is considered a specimen strike. This means a higher quality method of manufacture than an ordinary circulation strike, but not technically a proof. You&#039;ll see SP grades on some of the matte finish coins that were included with commemorative sets (the 1998-S half dollar that was included with the RFK set is an example), and at least one grading service assigns SP grades to satin finish mint set coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My guess is that all coins like yours would receive an SP grade, largely because of the reflective effect on the queen and the maple leaf, and that yours would be worth only its gold value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
