    Sorry meant to be a question not a statement. ?????Found this Kennedy at a sale. The color is different, and it has a predominately dangling four. Heavy die polishing marks, and a raised strike, breaks in star rays 11 through 14. The chunk of metal coming off of the crosslet of the four is very raised.

    All of the 64 SMS coins were found in the estate of a former director in the 80s. These coins were then certified by a TPG and auctioned. Did you get it from someone with family ties to an old high level mint employee?

    If you believe that someone took a slabbed coin, cracked it out, then spent it at face value even though it was 90% silver, and you got it CRHing, then you may want to send it to a TPG.

    Or better yet, ask the guys on YouTube who post about finding rare 64 SMS coins in change how they got into circulation. It's a darn shame, the never give you all the info.

    Sorry to be snarky, but the "Get Rich From Pocket change " YouTube hacks really do a disservice to the hobby. My agitiation is towards them, not you
