<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4209252, member: 84179&quot;]Here is what PCGS has to say.&nbsp; Note the parts highlighted.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Furthermore, it is believed these SMS coins came into existence somehow through the involvement of Eva Adams, U.S. Mint Director at the time. After Eva Adams passed away, her estate was sold off and well-recognized dealer and auctioneer Lester Merkin is believed to have bought many of the coins from her estate. <b>Lester Merkin&#039;s collection would then be sold in a Stack&#039;s auction in the early 1990s, <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 51)">including some, if not all</span>, of the known 1964 SMS coins.&quot;</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Unless you can trace your coin back to EVA Adams, the Lester Merkin sale, or a mint employee from the 60&#039;s, it is incredibly unlikely for you to have one.&nbsp; In addition, I believe all of the 64SMS coins where slabbed by TPGs around the time of the Merkin Sale.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t look like yours is in a slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still think you have one?&nbsp; Pony up the $50+ and send it to one of the major grading services[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
