    With all due respect, if you want more than a very generic answer, perhaps you should ask more than a very generic question. The membership here is certainly happy to assist you, but it's not our responsibility to cover every possible aspect or angle imaginable simply because you haven't bothered to clarify.

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    Can I "like" this post 8.54 gazillion times? Please?

    This OP is the same bird who got members to spew page after page about the hobby's historic/imaginary rarities. So having hit the "too stupid to do my own research if I can get you to spoon-feed me" lottery once, why not try again?

    I never really cared for those SMS. Lame substitute for proof coins. They were cheap in the 90s, $3-$7 ish. Probally a few dollars more now. Being their own catagory makes them special, but theres so many other varities of coins, i passed them over.

    You wouldn't pass over a 1964 SMS. They are among the GREAT all-time rarities. You are thinking of 1965-67.

    Yes, and it follows you everywhere just like those cameras Samsung installed in their T.V's w/o telling anyone about them.;)

    LOL! Only ONE of my numerically prolific COMPUTERS even has a camera in it, much less my TV, and I'm not even a paranoid. Just a hermit.

    I specifically shop for PC's that DON'T have a camera. Right now? Mac Mini. I "honest to Pete" can't think of a single reason I'd WANT a camera on a computer.

    My take on the SMS Sets is that they were excess coins that had been prepared for the Smithsonian to be included in the National Numismatic Collection.

    There are several, actually probably hundreds of coins in the Smithsonain that were specifically manufactured for the Smithsonian under an agreement by the US Mint and the Smithsonian.

    Read about it in the August 2013 Issue of Coin World.

    LOVE IT! Notice at NO point did anyone think, "Oh boy! I'm gonna find me one-a-them roll hunting." Now let's all just think about why that might be.
