I guess it's fairly easy to distinguish between a new 1967 SMS Kennedy and a business strike. I have found many (including 65's and 66's) roll hunting. The luster and finish are gone on most of these coins. I was looking for another way to determine that. Thank you all! Report this Post to the Staff

So any SMS coin found in circulation (if it can be identified as a SMS coin), I'm thinking is pretty much toast! With the exception of melt value. Report this Post to the Staff
