Hello!
Does anyone know if there is an actual difference between BU and Matte sets?
According to SCWC 2 sets were issued:

One is a Specimen set (MS6; 3850) and another enclosed in Franklin Mint folder (MS5; 5877).
This website also lists these sets (but also a different one, packed by the Central Bank):
https://www.numismatics.ph/coins/coin-set/1975.html
They list: Matte set (FM): 3850; and a BU set (FM): 5877.
So far, from mintages we can conclude that Matte set is Specimen set (MS6); and FM folder is the BU set (MS5).
However, the website provides pictures only to BU set, where you can see “BU specimen set” (MS6; 3850) written on it.

I suppose that the set on Numista should be “BU/FM holder” set (MS5, 5877). The coins in it also don't look Matte.
But this leaves a question: What is the “Matte/Specimen” set? I tried to find pictures of it on the internet, but I wasn't able to.
My guess is that they were probably packaged in the same holders and only differ in quality of coins. (Or maybe Matte were issued individually or without packaging?). I did not find any proof of either.
Does anyone know any information about them?
