    Hi all,
    A Special Mint Set, often referred to as an SMS, is a set of coins issued by the U.S. Mint from 1965 to 1967. These coins are characterized by a better than average strike, since they were struck on higher-tonnage coin presses than circulation strike coins, but they were not struck as Proofs. SMS coins do not have any mint marks.

    Mint Errors on SMS coins such as these Struck Through errors occurred and I have 2 of them -

    #1 - Struck Through Issue right before the word IN of IGWT

    #2 - Struck Through Issue on the word STATES sms3.JPG sms4.JPG

    Do you have any SMS Mint Errors?... Post Them (and only SMS ;))
