@Paulsz there are a couple of interesting books on Canadian Silver Dollars if you can find them. Both are out of print but can sometimes be found on the net or in an LCS . One is by Starr Gilmore and the other by Stephen Dushnick.
Both offer interesting insights , facts and figures on the Canadian Silver Dollar Series.

I found Starr Gilmore's book online. To anyone interested, you just Google Starr Gilmore silver Canadian dollars and you will find the link. Will start reading it soon!

The reverse certainly has the look of a Specimen Strike. The obverse , especially the rims are more in line with a circulation strike.

I agree with Pacificoin for 2 reasons firstly because thats what it looks like, and secondly because I've read about using SP die's for circulation strikes before.
I took a pretty good look around and found one for sure, perhaps two, that are the same as yours in TPG bags marked SP.
Check the reeding it should either stand out from a circulation strike or match an SP strike. Usually much more pronounced and clear and high.
Nice looking coin though no matter what.
Just my opinion.

There is mine. Hello to everyone. The last time I sent out ANY variety's to be graded, Paid for 60 of them and got back about 5 marked properly. They kept the money for the ones they did not.

That's weird. On the PCGS verification page, it shows this coin as a MS62 double HP. I don't think there are any Specimens with a double HP

That coin is yet another example of PCGS and their woeful abilities with Canadian coins. Circulation strike not a SPECIMEN.
