bossvibe New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 07/03/2018 04:01 am Hello again Coin Community, Wanted to get your input on this 5 coin set I came across. It's sealed in a plastic holder but does not have a label on what kind of set it is. All coins have a satin finish texture, could this be the rare 1964 SMS set or is this a custom set. Thanks again in advance. Edited by bossvibe 07/03/2018 04:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/03/2018 05:40 am From what I have read, the fields of the 1964 SMS's are very clean. Could you get a better pic of the reverse of the nickel. It could just be the holder but there appear to be many die abrasions in the fields. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2018 1:24 pm No you can see on the fields die cleaning. The SMS coin were fresh never used dies. So they look even better than the BU coins you have there. Note how clear the fields are: Half dollars: Edited by coop 07/03/2018 1:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 08:05 am The line looks incuse, not raised. The die is also showing age, so it's not a SMS coin. Report this Post to the Staff
