I've been comparing Heritage Auction photos of 1964 SMS coins during comparison I noticed that my coins have the same die markers I do not have an expensive camera nor USB micro but in hand and while viewing with my 8x loupe it appears that its possible that my coins are also SMS? Thoughtss

Unfortunately those are large dates. On the small dates the 2 is much further from the rim, and the 8 more rounded than oval. The 2 also has a prominent curve in the small dates. You’ll find one just keep looking.

 It has been in circulation so therefore that 2 could have taken a hit which why the prominent curve is not there!Also all the large dates have bold lettering the 1 out of the 3 shown here does not I've yet to see a large date with sharp lettering also the mint mark are located differently on the small date when compared to a large date & the 2 is not close to the edge as in a large date however I am not being argumentative about anyones opinion and I appreciate the responses and help because I'm still learning and new to numismatics but I love it&every challenge and possibilty it brings!

This is going to be very interesting so...2 Large 1 Small or all Large? I've heard and have seen alot of contradictory things pertaining to the small date about the 2's,the 8's,sharp slim motto lettering  the mint mark and location the 9's their points and lengths and so forth so 2 Large&1Small or All Large?

Ok I'm clearly not understanding this if someone would please explain a little further mechanial/strike doubling I've researched a little but apparently not enough because mechanical strike doubling has a shelf like appearance I'm not seeing the shelf like appearance in this coin the split between the 5's with the top one shifted slightly to the right clearly shows another raised 5 underneath so could someone educate me on what I'm looking at wrong thanks

With the right chemical and/or heat pretty much any metal can "tone".  This one doesn't look natural.

Thanks for the information this is the way I found the coin so it was pretty interesting being that I've never seen a coin of this year with toning 

Can someone please help me understand what is going on with this dime? Nice reverse toning & die polishing lines obverse I have no clue

The darkened highpoints of Monticello are typical of the wartime composition. Coining have only a relatively small proportion of silver (under 80%) tend to tone quite darkly.

Thanks

That's a blend of strike doubling and die erosion doubling. There's no attributable variety.

Thank you sir!

I think you are seeing fie deterioration, and it can't be a RPM because after 1990 all the mintmarks are on the master hub they weren't punching in mintmarks any longer.

What about the toning I have not seen any coin of this year with toning besides silver

Found a couple interesting dimes in my pocket change this 1965 dime appears to have doubling on the 5 in date and in IBER in Liberty 

Could it be doubling?RPM?I have yet to see a coin of this year with toning...

Need help to verify doubling on this Jefferson & variety!
