Doesn't the "profit-driven" argument work both ways?

Since 1937 SP-65 matte specimens are worth far less than MS-65 business strikes, if the 1937 matte specimen was actually a toned business strike then simple greed logic would have seen attempts to destroy the "specimen" designation long ago.

Agreed stevex6...

No amount of "deflection" will change the wording in the Mint Reports...

>>> The word "specimen" was employed as an alternate to the word "sample", within the early Mint Reports (eg: 1937/1938) when referring to sets-of-coins <<<

dts...
