<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 143514, member: 112"]NGC designates these coins as SP instead of MS because they are different than the normal coins of that year and the Proofs as well.

So techinically they can be called specimens.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS labels them as SMS - NGC labels them as SP.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
