Hey everyone, so the research I could find were the die markers, it definitely has extra metal on the 4, the wire rim , and the die scratches(I think) just looking for input, not sure if this is considered satin like finishIMG_20221031_140733073.thumb.jpg.7a92fcee01d4f7cde42496e713578eb9.jpgIMG_20221031_140625692.thumb.jpg.de6c03f40ee72558e83147b18c81fd63.jpg1034588299_IMG_20221031_1407305732.thumb.jpg.45c2ad09b11e1beddb7b6cd9736a1fc4.jpg1180100849_IMG_20221031_1406208152.thumb.jpg.82c2aeaf0d46504be6919bd358160ec5.jpg1548436103_IMG_20221031_1406208153.thumb.jpg.5f88fb7de313274a58d81db762d36ed2.jpg

Sorry but you do not have one.   The only coins that are considered as 1964 SMS coins are the handful of coins that came from the mint director's (in 1964) personal collection.   If you did not personally receive this from that mint director (and have documentation of such) or buy this coin from the auction where those few coins were sold (again you would need the proper documents) your coin will not be an SMS period.

No "Special Mint Set" (SMS) coins were made in 1964. The coins falsely called "SMS" are merely early strikes off new dies. This situation happens hundreds of times every year and is entirely NORMAL.

 The proof are 1964 (and other date) pieces in the Smithsonian which are correctly identified.

Whatever on-line "research" the OP has done is likely false -- lies by the ignorant and those pumping something for money.
