I have one that is from a Specimen set and it is a lot shiner than this. Hope the photos are okay. Thoughts please. Report this Post to the Staff

aghawk Valued Member Canada 343 Posts	Posted 10/16/2015 11:13 am Hmmm - so if from a Specimen set this is in pretty crappy shape. Value would be diminished as as a SP and doesn't count as UNC from regular circulation issue - would that be correct? Report this Post to the Staff
