And you are absolutely correct that this is a proof. I told everyone that the SMS didn't make sense. I didn't understand the part I had backwards. I think I have a much better understanding. I am sorry to drag it out another 2 questions but I appreciate the time you spent on it.

OK I am hearing you. Where can I find the definitive exclusive markers for this coin?

I am not embarrassed. I simply want to post this and get a very specific answer to my example. I am trying to learn and I just have a few questions. In the attached I see a lot of what I think are results of the minting process. It is my understanding that the die would be the same if all the marks are made the same. Are these things coincidence or what am I missing?

OK I know that I am chronically wrong. But I have a 1964 Mint set I have matched die marks on every coin in the set to PCGS Photos for SMS coins including the 1968 half dollar specimen This does not make sense I have read the history but I am looking at it I am trying to find a good way to compare this to show what I am looking at. Any suggestions to help me create side by side pix easy?

Actually the Philly mint sticker does. I am blind. Thanumk you. Sorry for the dumb question

It may be. I am not sure what tells me. I assumed that the proof was more mirror like

I hit submit before I asked for help with better knowledge to tell if they agreed. The strike, finish and very sharp edges lead me to believe it is SMS. Any feedback appreciated

This is from the same set I posted a nickel question on recent ly

The finish and sharp edges look like an SMS coin

Thank you. You are one of the reasons I keep coming back. If In the images I definitely see dots or bubbles. But the dot I see and am curious about matches the coins color. There are other dot shapes but they are not in the location matching the reference dot and they have a different hue. I am not familiar with restoration services but do you think that they would be appropriate to answer the Q? Obviously the coin condition is poor. But the possibility seems worth pummeling a dead horse. If it is real the mystery is off the charts. I am excited to just have something to consider. I am working to overlay images. Is there any place that you recommend that I look to find location reference data to spot my coin? Size, etc? Thanks again K

That's not possible I have no idea how any amount of money would make me better or return my life I had passion, motivation and drive I used to fence, ride 100 mile bike races, climb mountains... I designed systems and solutions with the best and the brightest. I was employed by a company built from the ground up and I answered all of the questions. From newbie to Corner suites. And it was mine. Never once did I use the word stupid and never once did I not try to help. I was self-made and fully engaged at the board level with customers beyond compare. Money is a tool. It is not a goal above what matters At 3am it cannot make you feel like you are not a loser. It is just money. I wish my hand could caress my wife or pet my dog. That, not the gain or loss of money is my loss. Now I can't tell a joke without screweing up the punch line I didn't give that Intel on me for sympathy as I am a believer that the glass is overflowing, rather I violated my own privacy so people can see through the noise and go back to the root of the problem. It's a newbie board. It should be a good place to go and ask for help regardless of how much you do wrong. I have never been rude or belligerent. Yet I am serially stupid... I think that may just be the case now. But even if it is why should that be good enough reason to draw such derision. It's the shallow end of the pool. Either give us space to learn and a place to go or watch your hobby die from the poison being spread I have said enough. I hope a change of perspective can be accomplished

I try my best and I need help sometimes. 15 years ago I was exposed to Paraquat. I developed early onset Parkinson and my eyes are worse lately. I try to make fun of the situation and I am concerned about how much I ask for help. In my prior life I created a ERP solution for the Upstream Oil and Gaa Industry generating $300m and providing 200 plus high paying jobs for 30 years. I know the difference between us and I know respect. Wht do you bother with my posts? If you really think you are helping here I recommend you continue and share with others who you may prefer to help I still don't know what to say to this sta but maybe you should reconsider your impressions of my character. Thanks for the support and courage to the ones who are seeing the same thing I did I feel that there is hope and potential here that has been brutality smacked full in the face Thanks

There is history here. I have done that. But it seems that no matter what I get discouraging remarks and criticism. I would like to see some encouraging words. I need the help but avoid it mostly because I know I will be called a dumb no matter how I present it

Well, I saw It first with my eye You are right that it was the microscope Removed from the mint packaging and it resolved to Nada My rookie bad Thanks again
