This is another one I found in a SMS set. It looks pretty good. I did the best I could to get clear pictures of the coin. I think this one might be an MS65.

also, MS grades are meant for coins minted for circulation SP grades are specimen coins not meant for circulation such as SMS set coins.

This is a clearer picture of the 67 half. I think it is clear enough to evaluate the coin. Thank you in advance for all the helpful information that is provided in this forum.

looks like the coin has that cloudy toning especially the obv
the lighting is still obscuring some areas.

I'm going to lower my grade a tad and say SP64+

I don't know why these SMS Kennedy's didn't come back as SP 66 instead of MS 66. You would think the grading company would know the difference.

To understand: The SMS was strike twice. any grader will see this. So even the coin was out and in circulation, the strike still there.
