John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 05:22 am Looks like it is a proof condition coin not a SMS. Did they even make SMS coins in 1964?, I thought it was 1965-66-67. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
bishftl Pillar of the Community United States 1020 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 05:30 am Currently the PCGS Population report shows 22 Lincoln cents, 18 Jefferson nickels, 22 dimes and 28 Kennedy half dollars graded as 1964 SMS. This coins has a definite satin type finish, no real reflective surfaces like a normal proof. The photos do not represent how good this coin looks in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 11:31 am That is a proof cent, the fields are a bit hazy so the brilliance is reduced slightly. Genuine 1964 SMS cents display light die polishing lines in the fields, completely absent on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
