Not a snowballs chance in Hades it is anything special .
Unless of course it came from the Eva Adams or Lester Merkins
Families .
The 1964 SMS threads are up there with most wishful thinking
Of them all .
You are not going to find one in the wild .

The mint did not,
1. mint many SMS sets in 1964 - like less than 50 are believed to have been made, but estimates put that number at about 20.
2. they would have been in cello wrappings not a plastic case - the mint only started using hard plastic cases in 1966.
3. you most likely have 1964 business or proof strikes placed in an SMS case LONG after it left the mint.

$7 for a 1964 silver set is a excellent deal.

Welcome back MAC. For the SMS 1964 and 1965 In the next hour or two I will post about the Myth and the Reality's of those sets. I will just clean the mass after my Birthday's supper and me and my friend will stay to post this. The OP's must know and understand what was and not to be catch on different market scams.

I am not saying that I have a 1964sms set,but treasures are found all the time that people say can not happen.I wrote in to ask for your help not just no, or no chance in ...I will try to research my own. I know the odds are not there but would you just put the coins in a box and not being sure 100% ?

Would really love to see photos--plastic case notwithstanding. Can't offer a decent assessment without pics.

Those cases could be open easy. The really SMS must be broke. Almost finish the forum article.

Its Proxy season, for all those not aware is that the financial district is sending out their annual reports, Proxy Statements and more Supplements. I'm just poking in and out busy at work even on the weekend, and as usual giving my quick comments.
Even though I would agree the chance are near zero for a SMS set, but the silver price is great.

... I think because the package said 1967 that is what he went by and not checking inside, ... I agree with this and Macs comment about being a great deal for $7. Congrats on the "upgrade" to silver. Also, Silviosi's comment about the plastic being easy to open is right on. The original owner probably put together a "birthday" set and this was the easiest way to do it back then. Someone may have considered a 1967 "group" of coins as pocket change and the plastic holder had more value to them. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I think you made a good buy at $7, regardless of the outcome. GOOD LUCK!

petespockets55,I am going to agree with you on your theory so I did open the case and after all the comments and some research I now know the set is not sms but just a unc. or mint set. treasure hunting is the about the dream of finding something of value or even educational.The cent has a strike thru,the nickel full steps,the dime went in my dansco book the quarter was in better condition than what I had in my now complete unc.Quarter book from 1932 to present including proofs the half dollar I will just put in a 2by2 for now. thank you all for you help.

the most interesting coin on those sets are the Quarters. Look for type B reverse (uncommon) or because many was struck in the end of the year is believe that around 10K was struck on clad planchet.
