@ TheNickelGuy- haha thanks man. If it comes back certified as what I'm hoping it is, I will personally drive it out to you and let you see it lol

It's very difficult to tell by my pictures but I'm telling you if you saw them in person you would be more confident about what they were. I sent them to a rare coin dealer in Biloxi Ms after I studied and researched everything I could about them for about a month or so and when he told me that he felt very strongly that they were the real deal that's when I went ahead and sent them to PCGS... even if they come back as nothing special, I still learned a good bit along the way lol

This is where I respectfully disagree with Coinfrog. You just don't mess around with coins at this price point without certification. If it comes back real, (which from what I've seen, it will), the PCGS slab will do nothing but add money to your pocket.

Only thing bothers me is that I don't think that 1964 special mint coins were issued in "sets" like we think of with 1965, 1966 and 1967 special mint sets. I just want to see these great images again when they are certified in the slabber-ooos.

I would say that the fingerprint on the Kennedy obverse kills it for me, but the PCGS example coin has one also. I'm hoping that they come back as the special strikes for you. To me they look just like slight die variations, but for those obsessed, they would be keys.

 what I'm wondering is if the coin displays the die scratches on the reverse and also has the raised teardrop under the crosslet of the 4, then is it a sms 100% without a doubt because that's how I understand the identification process works based on what I've read on PCGS and other Similar websites.

Does anybody know someone personally, or know how I could contact/email somebody that has experience with these? It sure would help me out. I would be very appreciative if someone could spread the word around that I'm looking to personally contact an expert or at least someone that's seen them in person.
