JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21601 Posts	Posted 09/12/2017 10:36 am I would have to agree with you. By looking at the rough rim and flattened denticles at 12:00, although common on MS coins, you wouldn't find on a Specimen coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Alan Pillar of the Community Canada 1463 Posts	Posted 09/12/2017 10:54 am I would say it is, if you look at PCGS registry there's other matte specimens from the year with same rim. The toning and ear and eye and brow would imply it's specimen imo. Also some 1937 matte specimens are much better than others, versus the mirror finish which seems to always be consistent.

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 09/12/2017 11:38 am this coin is undoubtedly a specimen strike...i have examined the piece in hand and was going to be it's new owner before something interrupted my deal. it's a stunning coin in hand, extremely attractive toning..the coin deserves every bit of the SP-66 designation. on top of that, the sellers are very smart and trustworthy..if you decide to buy this coin, feel confident as you'll love it 1000X more when you have it in hand.

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 09/12/2017 11:39 am and regarding the rims, this is a common issue on 1937 matte issues aside from maybe the nickels...in fact, i'd say finding nicely formed rims on a 1937 matte strike would be the exception..

My 1937 Matte specimen dollar has the same rims. I wondered about that question too. After seeing a few more in hand, it seems most have them. Only on the obverse though, the reverse rims look better Report this Post to the Staff
