<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 5382603, member: 13307&quot;]Going through some of my coins (deciding which ones to sell and which to keep) and came across this Switzerland 1969 B 5 Francs:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1230707[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Checking in the Krause manual, I see that (in addition to the 2 edge lettering types - this one is Type 1) there is a Specimen version listed.&nbsp; There is a significant increase in value for the SP version, so I&#039;m very interested to know if that&#039;s the one I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Holding the coin in hand, it doesn&#039;t look like a proof per se (although it is very proof like) and the photos show the contrast and PL fields.&nbsp; My intuition tells me it&#039;s probably just a nice Business Strike with PL characteristics, but for educational purposes I thought I&#039;d post it and see if someone more knowledgeable can help me out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
