John, I think that immediately prompts the question: do you categorize the 1965-1967 SMS strikes as closer to business strikes, or closer to proof strikes?

It is a Nice clash.
The set is worth between $14 and $19.00, with a clashed die on the Dime it could bring an extra $10.00 to $15 on a good day.

I seen a PCGS 36446944 later year 1989 that is business strike with similar clash and was priced crazy high but also seen another one that was 1967 that was listed (NOT SOLD) for 250.00.
Not a collector of error coins so I accepted the 50 dollar offer. SOLD!

I'm still trying to understand how the TPG's can use a proof designation on grading for Special Mint Set coins. A "Proof" designation is the method of manufacture, not the "look" of the coin. (For Morgans they use "proof-like") SMS coins are not produced the same way as proof coins, are they? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

They are a hybrid between the two: http://goccf.com/t/451007#3894848According to that post, business strikes are normal dies, normal planchet, struck once. SMS are polished dies, normal planchets, struck once. Proof are polished dies, polished planchets, struck twice. Also worth pointing out—the Special Mint Set mintage numbers resemble proofs, not business strikes. |

Congrats on a $50 sale for that coin! =)
I think that's a fair price for a nice clash on a pristine SMS coin still in the cello. Certainly far more than the typical $5-10 for a decent clash on an ordinary coin.

I like this clashed dime. Congrats to the OP and the buyer. So, they are proof-like but not proof coins and yet they get "proof" grading designations. The TPG's sure know how to muddy the waters to increase their profits. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
