So I haven't looked into the SMS coins that much but I was wondering if this 1965 nickle was an SMS? Not even gonna guess cuz I have absolutely NO idea lol. If I had to guess I'd say no....just to be safe LOL   |

I would have to say No to an SMS here. The SMS strikes are really noticeably sharp.
Your coin looks to be a circulated business strike.

Yes, appears to be a circulated business strike.

Why do you think this could be an SMS?  |

You won't see many in better shape than this one.
The roughness around Monticello is planchet scratching which is unusual on SMS coins because the strikes are strong and obliterate them.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Business strike. I have a good example I believe of what an SMS coin out in the wild probably looks like. So, I thought it was a 65 but it's not. But I found this 1966 in a bank roll awhile back, which is another SMS year. I am fairly certain this was originally an SMS coin, and probably pulled out of a set. Notice how much more mirrored it is, similar to a proof?   Edited by Humanist1287
