JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21607 Posts	Posted 10/16/2017 09:14 am Yes, Specimen Finishes have changed several times over the years. In the 80's it was Brilliant Relief on a Brilliant Background and has changed a couple of times since then. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 10/16/2017 09:16 am Yes. They used to have a brilliant finish, looking like PLs. Now they have "a brilliant image relief against a matte or lined background", taken from the RCM website. I don't know when they changed over, but they enhanced the lined background (fields) in 2010.

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 10/16/2017 09:23 am Thanks! I have never had an older specimen before. The pictures on ebay kinda look more PL than specimen to me for that time peroid. That's the reason behind the question. I do like the specimen finish that was found in the 96 PL set.
