I understand that MOST of the 1964 Kennedy half dollars that have been deemed SMS had certain features. Can this coin exist without having those EXACT features?

I don't know if anyone can give any definitive answers on these coins. I know some feel they don't actually exist at all. I have also heard that the die markers mean nothing, the dies were probably used to strike regular coins after the SMS coins were struck. Another opinion is, if you can't trace it directly to mint director Eva Adams then it isn't one.

With all that, the toning is quite nice.

In a word no . The 1964 SMS coins all trace back to Mint Director Adams of the day .

Sorry, you do not have one. And yes, they all have the same die marks. Not enough were made for die variations.
