<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 7958579, member: 15309&quot;]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.&nbsp; They will often have reflective surfaces like a proof, though not mirrored surfaces.&nbsp; In addition, any significant step detail on these dates is a dead giveaway that the coin is an SMS.&nbsp; Some coins are easy to identify as SMS coins (see below).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/B8W4opQ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/fW24uuH.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/D2Y81ys.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Other coins, especially those that have developed a patina that hides the original SMS luster become much more difficult.&nbsp; I submitted this coin in hope that it would come back a business strike, but deep down, I knew it was an SMS.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Lsk6khA.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZvAG1h3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/xGQhAji.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
