ccobb Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 02/06/2019 10:32 pm Today I pulled out my special mint sets and couldn't find a value for the 1964. Read some other posts on this topic and thought I'd share this for your comments. All the coins in this set have the same finish(which is different from the finish of the proof/mint sets in cellophane and I've included a picture for comparison) and all the coins in the SMS have squared outer rims. If I decide to send these coins in for grading what is the best way to get them out of the box? Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 10:09 am You have a 1964 mint set and a privately put together 64 set . These are not SMS ,if they were they would be of much better quality close to proofs . I would not advise you to send any of those coins in unless you post photos of the coin/s so we can let you know if they are candidates for TPG'ing . Report this Post to the Staff
GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1527 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 10:47 am All the coins have a mint mark, SMS set don't. I agree with others that this is a set that was put together. Report this Post to the Staff
sullysullinburg Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 9:10 pm These are not SMS coins. Should be able to open the plastic case with your fingers along the edge. I would not recommend opening the cellophane package, however. Report this Post to the Staff
