lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 05/07/2022 04:53 am The better question is why would it be? What do you see that makes you feel that it is? I see an absolutely normal business strike dime with none of the sms features. The most obvious thing to me on the sms are the very heavy die polish lines, where are they on this coin? The sms coin has a small die mark on the lower right of the 1 in the date, where is that? Edited by lcutler 05/07/2022 05:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/07/2022 4:20 pm Tell why this one isn't an SMS please? Because it was found in circulation. You don't have to go any farther than that. You will never find a 64 SMS in circulation. They have all been accounted for. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/07/2022 4:57 pm The SMS dimes were struck in very low numbers of strikes from fresh dies. They were in sets give to some mint employees. Probably these sets will never be broken up. Your is just a normal die example. Markers for the SMS dimes are below: These will be very early die state dies: Strike is very strong on these: Note how crisp the die states are on these. Another example: They are not proof coin either. The strike was different on these: The strike is different. Less strikes with the dies and probably struck twice so they matte appearance is noticed on all of the SMS coins. Your coin is just a BU coin. The die state is LMDS. Not showing the die flow lines yet. But not a SMS dime. CoopHome: What is so special about the SMS 1964 dimes? How can I tell the differences?
