I just found out about these SMS coins yesterday when going through my Kennedy halves, because the 1966 coins were so much more PL than the others. I'm always surprised by how little I know about this hobby, despite collecting on and off for 40 years. I have 3 rolls of these, two of which have milk spots in varying degrees, but one roll is really nice IMO.

These are difficult to photograph, so I supplied a couple of lighting exposures, same coin though.

@T-Bop That is not a hit on the nose, it is consistent on a number of the coins from that batch.

You can see other ones here.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Since I'm selling these, this leaves me with quite the quandary. A slabbed 67 fetches about $40 bucks, while a 68 fetches about $150. If I get it slabbed and it comes back less than 68, I actually lose money.

I'll probably list them for trade here first.
