<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 807803, member: 112&quot;]There were 1964 Special Mint Sets.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No one is denying that or saying anything different. There were absolutely no 1964 Special Mint Sets issued. However, there were some made. </p><p><br /></p><p>The SMS coins are different from the business strike coins in that the planchets are prepared differently. They have a higher degree of polish than business strikes - but not as high of a degree of polish as a Proof planchet. SMS coin dies are prepared differently than business strike coin dies - they too have a higher degree of polish, but again not as much as a Proof die. And the SMS coins are further differentiated from the business strike coins in that they are struck with higher pressures than business strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the point about there being 1964 SMS sets is debatable because of semantics. But there is no denying that there were 1964 SMS coins struck by the US Mint. This is a fact, they exist. And since they exist in all denominations it can be debated that the sets therefore exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing that sets the 1964 SMS sets apart from the &#039;65-&#039;67 sets is that none were issued to the public. Other than that, they are the same. They are SMS coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
