CanadaPennies19 Valued Member Canada 201 Posts	Posted 02/17/2024 06:53 am I did some research trying to see if an old thread has been posted on this, but nothing surfaced. I have: 1967 ICCS MS-66 (business strike or circulation) 1967 PCGS PL-67 (from the cellophane PL sets) 1967 ICCS SP-67 (from the gold specimen sets) 1967 PCGS PR-67 - this one confuses me. All 4 of my coins have rainbow toning so it's tough to determine the difference between the specimen, proof like and proof strikes . My question is, what exactly is the proof strike? Is it a PCGS thing that is the equivalent to the ICCS specimen? Report this Post to the Staff
