It seems that a set I picked up in a thrift shop is actually a specimen set of coins. I can't seem to find any confirmation of this anywhere. The coins look like specimen finish. The Loonie has a double date(1987-1997) with a flying loon. I don't really know where to look for clear information about the finish. I was planning to give this set to a grandson but would need better information to pass on. It is in a sealed cardboard holder. Can anyone help me?

The "Uncirculated Coin Set" label on the packaging can be confusing, but the coins are Specimen finish.
