Note on the images above, these can only be VEDS coin (Very-Early-Die-State) They were the only ones struck with these fresh dies. Later examples of these dies don't have the SMS strike on them. They are slightly matte on the surface. Not extremely shiny as proofs are. Thus the images with other strike that year. Probably less than 50-100 of these exist. If they had a set of these, they would not be split up and sold. They are test pieces that some employees had. So they probably are not loose floating around. Note how clear looking these are even for markers to be seen.

Neither the half dollar or nickel posted are sms coins. That poor half dollar looks like it has been sanded though!

The marker for the SMS half on the '4' looks like this:  Note the fields on the examples. Not how you see slight die markers on them of doe polishing and the devices are totally fresh.

See that's what's funny cause the set was in a case but from moving around and not knowing what it was or anything about coins they where rolling around with a bunch of other coins but not poor half dollar was not sanded as you say the other 4 coins stayed in the case not like the Kennedy did but the way you trying to make someone educated instead of putting them down make them feel stupid by the way it is the SMS set with so many other coins that you probably never will see in your life or own but I will keep sanding as you said not real nice look real close at the pictures
