To see the difference, I add some images of what they look like: Markers: Edited by coop 06/15/2021 3:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5402 Posts	Posted 06/15/2021 5:05 pm Related to the Families of Lester Merkin Or Eva Adams ? Not a snowballs chance in Hades that is an SMS. Numismatists believe that the 1964 Special Mint Sets may have belonged to former U.S. Mint Director Eva Adams, who was instrumental in bringing the Kennedy half dollar from concept to circulation in just a couple of months after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. The former Mint director died on August 23, 1991, and her estate was sold soon after. Coin dealer Lester Merkin is known to have bought some if not all of the coins from that sale. ( courtesy Coin World) Edited by Pacificoin 06/15/2021 5:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
