twoods Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 09:39 am Hello Everyone, Once in a awhile I come across a single specimen coin for sale (older ones, 1937, 1946, 1948, etc). Are these coins always from broken specimen sets or did the mint issue some individual specimen coins? Thank you for any help you may be able to offer * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Certain obvious exceptions such as the 37 and 08 that came in full sets. but I believe in most years you could order a special strike coin. It came in a small burgandy envelope.

twoods Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 08/31/2016 12:34 am Thank you for the information...this leads to my next question, is there anywhere I can look up estimated mintages of the specimen sets and single coins issued as mentioned above... It seems not a lot of individual specimen coin have surfaced, based on checking the population reports Any further information on earlier specimen coins would be appreciated, thanks again!
