<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cremebrule, post: 1819780, member: 35227&quot;]FWIW, the finishes of &#039;65, &#039;66, and &#039;67 SMS coins progressively became more consistently prooflike. In &#039;65, the &quot;prooflike&quot; and polished finishes were sometimes hardly noticable -- for Lincoln cents at least the only difference I noticed was a slightly smoother and more &quot;glossy&quot; appearance to the fields; especially the obverse since it exhibits bowled/curved fields. This is why D/CAM SMS coins in 1965 are extremely rare and difficult to find. By &#039;67, the SMS coins produced were nearly full-on proofs; thus, the difference between SMS coins and Business strikes were easily noticeable (Please correct me if any of this info is incorrect).</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and beautiful coins as usual, gbroke!
