HumbleUser New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 02:36 am I understand that MOST of the 1964 Kennedy half dollars that have been deemed SMS had certain features. Can this coin exist without having those EXACT features? Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 05:05 am I don't know if anyone can give any definitive answers on these coins. I know some feel they don't actually exist at all. I have also heard that the die markers mean nothing, the dies were probably used to strike regular coins after the SMS coins were struck. Another opinion is, if you can't trace it directly to mint director Eva Adams then it isn't one. Report this Post to the Staff
