Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 05:59 am Not sharp enough devices, fields not uniformly satin [I originally said reflective which is wrong] enough. I've got rolls of brand new '64s that are better candidates than that one. IMHO. Edited by Biedercoins 07/20/2016 11:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
1966ddr Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 06:21 am To Biedercoins, am I to understand that if an SMS coin were to be on circulation it can not lose its luster nor sharpness? Thanks for your response Report this Post to the Staff
Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 07:39 am 1964 SMS lincoln cents are Extremely rare. They're almost mythic. The last I heard, there was a total of 22 registered with PCGS. They're like proofs in their execution, but they have a satin finish rather than a typical mirror proof. I don't know if anyone can agree on why they were even struck; experimental? The 65-67 SMS coins actually replaced proof and mint sets for those years and they were nice and shiny. Both Mint and Proof sets were produced in 1964; and in pretty good numbers as that. Am I to understand your SMS candidate coin came from circulation? What about this particular specimen makes you think it's a SMS issue? Report this Post to the Staff

This coin is obviously a near LDS when you coin was struck. It is just a normal business struck coin. Report this Post to the Staff
