<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 174407, member: 112&quot;]It stands for Specimen - it&#039;s just a different designation that NGC uses for such pieces. The coin is not a business strike, so they don&#039;t use MS. It&#039;s not a Proof so they don&#039;t use PF. It&#039;s not a Special Mint Set ( as in the &#039;65, &#039;66, &#039;67 sets ) so they don&#039;t use SMS. But the coin had a very low mintage and it has a different finish, (matte finish not brilliant or satin), so NGC uses the SP desigination for Specimen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
