wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 7:21 pm Probably SP63 or 64. What does the flip say? Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 02/25/2013 10:17 am Thanks for your expertize. I wish that I has some of your eyes when I was looking for key coins,...way back when all you did was grade with a 4x loop but view with a 7x loop. So this is a MS 62 business strike,..I guess soon after the dies were moved into regular coinage striking. Have any of you seen other "First Strike" from 1858 ? ... and is there much collectability with this added to the flip.? Report this Post to the Staff

jg86 Pillar of the Community Canada 686 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 12:23 am Can anyone explain the difference between this and a specimen? I can't tell by looking at it Report this Post to the Staff
cameron93 Valued Member Canada 190 Posts	Posted 03/01/2013 3:30 pm Hi everyone, Hope you're all havin' a good day... :) I'm not sure how anyone can determine whether a coin was the "last struck" specimen example, or the next "first struck" business strike use of die... Take care, and Have a Great Weekend! cameron93 Report this Post to the Staff
Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 03/01/2013 6:17 pm I think the most likely explanation is that Brian means it has prooflike qualities, due to being one of the first struck using the specimen dies. Similar to PL/DMPL Morgan dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 9:43 pm That's my feeling also. When the specimen dies run was up, they get moved over for use as regular business strikes and this piece happened to be of that "first batch" of business strikes and luckily this coin survived and was quickly removed from regular circulation. This coin probably does not have all of the necessary "specimen" attributes but does have the necessary "business strike" attributes. Brian and a few others would know what those attributes would be.
