<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 807812, member: 307&quot;]Let me remind everyone here that the SMS designation is not only for coins from the 1965-67 Special Mint Sets. the designation has also been used for other coins that have received a &quot;special&quot; finish.</p><p><br /></p><p>Case in point would be the 1994-P and 1997-P Jefferson Matte Proof Nickels. These coins were graded MS-XX SMS because they are considered to be special finish coins, not because they came in a Special Mint Set.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that some of you are getting caught up in the symantical argument rather than realizing that the 1964 SMS coins are ones that received a special finish (as trial for the new SMS or some other reason, it doesn&#039;t matter) and are distinguishable from other coins and therefore graded MS-XX SMS. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is not some ruse to dupe the collecting public and take their money. The whole TPG idea does that already.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
