don in nmkt Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 08/18/2014 09:29 am Does anyone know of a more complete price guide for specimen coins? For example, coins that do not reach the SP63 grade. I found large specimen cent on ebay that that grades AU and can not find a value for it. Thank you for any info. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 08/18/2014 3:48 pm Hi Don- What year is your coin? Specimen Proofs were only issued in certain years. It is rare for a SP to be less than a 62 or 63 as they were not produced for circulation. There has to be be a minimum amount of a particular grade of coin assigned to a TPG company before they will issue it a grade. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 08:20 am Where does it indicate that this is a specimen strike? It is a business strike that because of the wear to the jewels on the crown and the ribbon on the shoulder I would grade a VF30 in MYO Report this Post to the Staff
