No

All of the 1964 SMS coins - and we've answered this dozens of times - are slabbed and were prototypes and are traceable to the estate of the then mint director.

This coin is quite badly scuffed up - I'm not sure it would grade MS. Definitely not MS-67.

In addition to the information already provided, the so called sms coins were not minted in Denver. That coin would never make ms60, just face value.

My eyes see a scuffed up AU coin at best. The big hit on Lincoln cheek alone is quite distracting.

Politely suggest that you should so some additional study on grading - especially if you are considering sending coins to an expensive TPG for their views and encapsulation.
