    Don't forget that these were discovered in the mint director's collection when she passed away. There is also one example that has been found that didn't have the "tear drop 4".
    Blows my mind that the mint director blames the coin collecting community for the coin shortage then takes away mint marks. In the meantime she is pumping out special strike coins and putting them in her collection.

The more you can show and acknowledge about identifying such a coin should be out there so people aren't saying they have one without all identifying indicators of such coins. 👍

Because of you’re videos, I have found ,I think a lot of coins! From 1 5 gallon water jug. And a couple of coins I bought at a second hand store. Should I take thiscoin out of plastic? To put under my new coin scope??

  • @louieatienza8762
    @louieatienza8762 Před 4 lety +6

    The actual story is, there was a shortage of coins in the 60s due to hoarding, so the mint was to remove silver from coins starting in 1965. Also, to curtail hoarding, they would remove all mint marks from coins, even though all three mints produced coins from 1965-1967. The SMS was produced to allow the Philadelphia mint to produce more business strikes instead of tying up presses for the slow process of proof striking. So a dozen sets were created, and at one time were the possession of one collector. They eventually got broken up and sold off. But no, you're not going to find one of these in loose change or at the table at the local show's bargain bin. People knew these were special for a while now...

    Happy Easter BRSH. My brother is getting married in few hours so gotta be quck with my question.The coin in your video is Auction#1239 Lot#5545 sold at HA 9/7/16 which shows serifed I in liberty..dangled 4 in date of obverse indictive of a normal non-accented strike....reverse shows broken rays 11-13 & straight G. Now onto Auction#1114 Lot#2704 sold 7/30/08 at HA..obverse has serifed I but no dangled 4...reverse shoes broken rays & straight G. Both reverses are the type 1 & both obverse show normal strike. My question is would a 64 example with the type 1 reverse be considered a SMS or SP(specimen)?? I have 3 examples with type 1 reverse & 1 was confirmed to be a straight G. 4 examples with solid rays & flaired G. What are your thoughts???? Thank you in advance for any info & may you have a Blessed Easter!!

    I'm sending one off to PGS. I'm sure it's at least an accented hair. But compared to any other coin I've ever seen. The reflection given off is really cool. I'm hoping it grades at least 63 or 64 accented hair. If it comes back as one of these. I'll be happy! But I doubt it. Like I said I'm sending it to be graded cause I'm pretty sure it's an accented hair at least.

    I picked up a roll a week ago. I couldn't believe what I was seeing in the middle of a 72 coin was a letter 2.. it looked like what they call a sm. Date number two. After looking at it underling a microscope, it's so clear I have heard some strange things come out of the mint, have you ever heard of anything like this? Where do I go to have this checked maybe a new rare error?

    I have such a coin. It was in circulation. Fortunately, the time is quite short, as you can see on it, but it is not battered. Personally, I think it's the most beautiful American circulation coin of the twentieth century. The more I learn about it, the more closely I look at it. I'm seeing more and more anomalies on it and I'm starting to wonder if it's worth sending it for a professional assessment and risking unnecessary expenditure of money because it seemed to me something. U.S. coins are a difficult subject for an amateur from Europe.

    I bet somewhere out there there's whole rolls of them put up and never even looked at by grandma's and grandpa's for the last year of the 90% silvers, just waiting to be uncovered.
    It was at Philadelphia. They don't do anything small scale. Must be 50K of them out there.
    And surprising they didn't also test the dime and quarter since they were testing for the SMS.
    Just shows you how indistinguishable the SMS coins were compared to circulation strikes except to the trained eye. There's probably also 1964 SMS quarters and dimes out there also waiting to be discovered.

      Many melted down for "junk" silver by the people who don't care enough to look for the sake of numismatics. Just melt melt melt money money money..
