<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 24614056, member: 78719&quot;]Technically a circulation issue but not known. This specimen was not attributed to an uncirculated currency set but word of mouth is that there was one that was; this coin may be that very coin or represent another specimen as nobody has a picture of the coin pulled directly from a set. London Coins sold 8 years ago the very first specimen that had some signs of possibly being loose in change (!?).</p><p>So the list of known specimens appears to be:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 - Auction coin from London Coin Auctions, sale 2015</p><p><br /></p><p>2 - Possible coin removed from 2008 Currency (?Celebration set). All other coins were normal 2008 coins evidently.</p><p>3 - THis coin, which may be the same as Coin #2</p><p><br /></p><p>That is is. The 1983 Specimen Currency sets that held the 1983 &quot;New Pence&quot; 2P coins came packaged generally in the &quot;Martini&quot; sponsored set with a few known from the &quot;Heinz&quot; sponsored set but also a normal unsponsored uncirculated currency set. Some are alleged to have been pulled from circulation but these could be coins broken out of mint sets. Nobody is sure of the mintage but I have see thrown about mintage figures of 50-200.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
