Is your coin missing the lower left serif on the I in Liberty?
And does it have accented hair?

This is what a 1964 SMS obverse looks like.
Note the lower left of the I in Liberty.

First I ever heard of this animal. Is this same as a "proof" as my empty hole in Whitman album?

That one looks like a proof to me. The SMS were not proof coins:

1964-Kennedy-Half-Dollar-Possible-SMS
1964-Kennedy-Half-Dollar-Possible-SMS
More of a satin finish on these.

Click on coin image to make it huge. (don't do this on your cell phone)
Note the surface of the coin. This is a VEDS (Very-Early-Die-State) coin. Note the fields are very smooth.
Very light die scratches on the second 'L' on dollar to the star. Pretty flawless die. (Aprox. 50 coins struck)
Rest in Peace

There is a 1964 Kennedy proof with accented hair but the I in Liberty is normal. I believe that the 64 SMS is the only one that has the accented hair and the missing Sarif on the lower left of the I in Liberty.

Note, not all 64 SMS Kennedy's have the missing Serif.

Edit... looks as though I was wrong! my apologizes
