MarkFeld Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If you believe it's an SMS example, you should submit it for grading. My guess is that you don't and won't, even though you apparently thought it worthy of two different threads,.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nickel is a very nice proof from 1964.If the obverse is as frosty as Monticello then you could have a nice cameo proof nickel ... Most proof sets i come across from 64 only get half cameos.. either the obverse or reverse... Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 There are no SMS 1964 coins. There were no SMS sets. The OP's coin is not one of the first coins off a new die pair for 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I can talk him into taking a few more pictures and a couple more videos of it , it might change your mind. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Geee....that might help...after a few thousand photos, photomicrographs, SEM shots, or several hours of video, the coin might look like Marilyn Monroe. Alex in PA. and Hoghead515 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The coins incorrectly referred to as "1964 SMS" are nothing but very early strikes off new dies. Examples from the DM are in Smithsonian. They are a NORMAL part of the products from entirely NORMAL dies and NORMAL die use. They are NOT specially made as were the 1965-1967 Special Mint Set coins.
