There were sure a lot of posts on this thread since yesterday afternoon, and I've quickly read them just now. If someone hasn't mentioned it yet-...
I'm sure there will be lots of posts on this thread in the next few days, but until someone can examine the holder itself, everything else will be...
1. It's SMS on the label, not SP - SMS means it came out of a Special Mint Set, which were the only sets issued between 1965...
I'm in L.A., but I thought you might be in Florida for the FUN show, or Philadelphia for the next ANA Convention in August. Looked at your two...

And, every copy of the CherryPicker's Guide to Die Varieties has a section in the Appendix discussing, and showing, the different types of...
Based on your photos, it's not a die crack, it's a scratch. (notice the scratch on the lower left side goes onto the rim) Can you post new...
There is nothing in the minting process that would cause this - it's either spittle from someone coughing on the coin before it was put in the...
That sign is for making Working Hubs, not the striking pressure for Dies making coins. There's a big difference between the two. Most striking...
