<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 143838, member: 112&quot;]The problem you are having is that you are applying your definition of the word specimen. But in this case that&#039;s not how the word is being used. Here&#039;s a couple definitions for the word - </p><p><br /></p><p>1 - An individual, item, or part representative of a class, genus, or whole.</p><p><br /></p><p>2 - an example regarded as typical of its class</p><p><br /></p><p>In this case they are using the second definition while you are thinking of the first - that&#039;s all.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I tried to explain previously - these coins are not business strikes or Proofs, they are special. The designations MS and PF are normally only used for business strikes and Proofs respectively. And these coins are neither - so they chose to use SP or SMS to signify the special class. Just that simple.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
