Surfsapien New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/20/2019 12:11 pm Hello - I could use an experts' advise please. It seems very unlikely that I have a 1964 SMS proof set, but I have not been able to find anything in my research (yet) that leads me to believe this is not the real thing. I've posted some pictures that I would appreciate you looking at and would be more than happy to zoom in and send additional pictures of any of the coins details. I hope an expert can tell me what I really have here and what to look for. Thank you in advance for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 06/21/2019 12:42 pm SMS coins don't have mint marks. the cent, nickel and quarter, even at this distance of picture have a "D" so they aren't SMS. I would assume with closer pictures of each coin they all will have a "D" mint mark. yeah, took a 2nd look, and I can see them on the half and dime also. Definitely not an SMS, and while SMS 1964's exist, it's been literally a dozen examples ever turning up, the chances of finding an entire set of 1964 SMS, in one, would be like being struck by lightning 57,000 times roughly. it's thought maybe 1-2 dozen examples of 1964 SMS of each denomination were struck as test specimens for the following year and somehow escaped destruction, probably blending in with P minted 1964s.... anywho, keep looking, you won't find it if you don't look!
