The rim

[Moxie15]

nice die crack on that one. I doubt that it is a so called special mint set. It looks a bit like a proof to my eye.

That is a proof and you know very well that it is

Same die crack running through the top of the IN of IN GOD WE TRUST and into the top seraph G

And I suppose every seraph is exactly identical in shape, form, and overall elegance

[Ratzie33]

Here is a regular proof nickel for seraph comparison. Then the sms coin.

[Ratzie33]

Also notice the square wire rim.

If you believe what you wrote, you should submit it for grading. My guess is that you don't and won't.

[Ratzie33]

Mr. Feld, I presume all 1964 coinage has excessive die polishing marks, similar die states, similar color, fat polished rims, and a rarity to share with the world for years to come. 

[Ratzie33]

I haven’t checked on your greatest rarity but I can see your attitude about don’t and won’t breeds only negativity. I will submit this coin, and do good anyway. Be happy anyway friend.

 

 

[Ratzie33]

Are proof coins not more brilliant than this gold matte? Or at least struck more poorly? Look at the jaw line alone.

[Ratzie33]

Notice the upturned cross let of the four.

[Ratzie33]

And this unique die polishing pattern right obverse field. Almost looks like a windmill.

[Ratzie33]

[RWB]

Nope.

[Hoghead515]

Not sure but its a sweet looking nickle.

"1964 nickel in original packaging"

Of course the 1964 SMS coins were not IN any official mint packaging.  So that right there tells you it isn't a SMS coin.

Do not rely on retail sites for numismatic information.  This information is completely wrong.  Notice you can also buy 1964 special mint sets here for $89.  Sound a little suspicious?

Whether unintentionally or otherwise, that seller used the term “Special Mint Sets” incorrectly. Of course, if you know who believes the sets to be accurately described, he should buy all of them at $89/set and make an easy and large fortune. I believe he knows better, however.

OMG, I was looking and I have one as well but it is the ENTIRE set .... how much is it worth Ratzie33?

Sorry, Ratzie has found so many that it is now the non SMS coins that are rare!
