[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4841308, member: 105098"]And apparently they did those slabs both ways:[IMG]https://www.ngccoin.com/boards/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg313/Chrishjr/Chris%2520Coins/SMS%2520Quarters%2520-%2520Territory%2520set/2009DDistrictofColumbiasmaller.jpg&key=cbd932af69d69298cdc3e45638850c5dfd21fe84aa50ae0b15971b3ce4c11ae5[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.ngccoin.com/boards/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg313/Chrishjr/Chris%2520Coins/SSA50127.jpg&key=27d82bb392ac82a32fe3fd35a9a61d5280e3502d9defc94e738542f9f5f54bd7[/IMG] NGC called them all "SMS". I think early on they called them "MS" with them labeled Satin finish on the slab, and around 2006, changed it to "SP" to differentiate it further. probably an internal disagreement started in 2005 over calling the satin mint set coins MS that resolved to being called SP in 2006. My personal opinion, I think they were trying to identify it with the TM'ed Satin finish logo slabs originally and it didn't work out so well for the population census organization, so they changed it otherwise they all would be of the design and date and it's not the same finish.[/QUOTE]
