[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 24662382, member: 90692"]I looked this up today while my wife was buying knitting supplies at Hobby Lobby. In the Coin Supply area they had the spiral bound 2023 Red Book, and I was checking the prices listed for SMS sets. The book only lists 3 years for SMS: 1965, 1966 and 1967. Their values listed were $15, $14 and $15 respectively. There is a paragraph about 1964 Special Strikes…saying there are some Mint Set coins that emulate proof condition that are considered rare, and that it is unknown how they were produced nor how they made it out of the Mint. (The previous sentence is almost verbatim from the Red Book paragraph, from pg. 362 or so, in the “Proof and Mint Set Section”. I was actually nearly astounded by the coincidence of me reading that there today and then finding this post tonight…Spark. [USER=101855]@johnmilton[/USER][/QUOTE]
