Gula1 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 02/02/2017 1:15 pm Hello all, I've attached a 1964 Lincoln Penny that stood out to me. I'm wondering if this could be a highly circulated SMS? Any info regarding the 1964-1967 SMS variety would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gula Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/02/2017 2:10 pm Gula, it is unlikely you have an SMS 1964 cent, as there were only a few sets minted that year. PCGS has only graded 22 1964 SMS cents, and the speculation is that the population is even lower, with coins cracked out and resubmitted. Source: http://www.PCGS.com/News/1964-Speci...nt-Set-Coins Dennman, SMS is not cent specific, but stands for Special Mint Set. From 1965-1967, the mint produced no proof sets, issuing these special mint sets instead. Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/02/2017 7:54 pm CoinCollector, there were probably fewer than fifty of the SMS cents minted. PCGS has a MS60 RB listed for $1250 in their price guide, so it would probably be worth at least a few hundred bucks in this condition if it was an SMS strike. Report this Post to the Staff
