I must agree. None of those are SMS coins, despite how nice they look.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Can you post images of the die markers you have matched on the Lincoln?

I also agree. See nothing that suggest that this an SMS, but just a put together set.

That dime, quarter, and half are very attractive. I hope you enjoy them

It's still a good set that was put together.

thanks everyone for your thoughts, I will try too see if I can get close enough photos of Lincoln to see if I can show die markers, however I believe the Lincoln to be SMS if you look at "IN GOD WE TRUST" especially at the (IN) it is the same looking strike as all the examples of the SMS the Motto in god we trust looks fatter if you will or a different looking strike on all the Buisness strike 1964 cents that I own

Coop, as far as the Dime is concerned, I was able to find this 64 SMS Rosevelt on PCGS registry SP65. The strike is clearly not as strong as the photo of the SP67 you have posted.  |

My dime also has a "satin" like finish and does not have the usual silver looking finish as for all silver 1964 dimes

The tops of the LIB of Liberty and the bottoms of IN of the IGWT are not clearly defined. Look at the certified examples. Sharp definition. |

I have a question on the Dies if anyone could answer for me. I guess I am wondering if the Die used while making the coin includes all the devices on the Obverse? Why would Rosevelts Bust be one of the Dharpest strikes I have seen on any of my Dimes yet the other devices such as "WE" and L in Liberty look so worn?

The age of the die ( Die Deterioration from use) can affect the sharpness of the devices. And usually the deterioration is more pronounced on the devices towards the rim. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
