    Now you got to admit these look pretty cool. Got them from pocket change from various Stores. I go through my change once a week I came up with these beauties might not be premium but they look pretty cool IMG_20211017_165359971_HDR.jpg IMG_20211017_165343932_HDR.jpg IMG_20211017_165457849_HDR.jpg IMG_20211017_165452816_HDR.jpg

    The 1967 looks to be an SMS.

    They appear nice enough to have possibly been pulled from an album or folder recently. Maybe someone dispersing a collection.

    How do you tell if it's an SMS

    There were no proof sets in 1965-67, so anything that has the appearance of a proof coin is usually going to be an SMS coin. They will often have reflective surfaces like a proof, though not mirrored surfaces. In addition, any significant step detail on these dates is a dead giveaway that the coin is an SMS. Some coins are easy to identify as SMS coins (see below).

    Other coins, especially those that have developed a patina that hides the original SMS luster become much more difficult. I submitted this coin in hope that it would come back a business strike, but deep down, I knew it was an SMS.

    Always fun to find nice coins in pocket change. Most people never even look at their coins.
