Selecting a specific hand specimen

You can select any particular hand specimen by using the message box in the cart. The hand specimen photos each have a black mechanical pencil or a black and silver pen, or one of those with some number of coins. Just tell us what is in the photo with the specimen you want us to ship. Notice that the mechanical pencil does have an eraser, the most important part.

If you do not make a selection, we will usually ship the specimen in the first photo.

Hand specimen or hand/display specimen. What's the difference?

Most  frequently priced the same as hand specimens, these are thicker but are otherwise the same and normally fit in the same 3.5 x 5.25 inch unit tray unless noted. If you want a more robust specimen and storage drawer height is not an issue, look at hand/display.
