<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coindudeonebay, post: 2227855, member: 20079&quot;][USER=22585]@gbroke[/USER] the problem with the coins you posted is that the supposed MS coins you pictured have no cameo contrast whereas the ones that you know for sure are SMS are either heavily contrasted or cameo in the case of the nickel. The problem with SMS coins is that they came in DCAM, CAM, PL and pretty much with a Business Strike look depending on the usage of the dies. DCAM are extremely rare in 65 and few in 66 and compared to both those years common in 67, if there is such a term for any SMS coin. 2 of the coins you pictured are for sure SMS, the other two, could be. The problem with SMS coins is that they were not handled like proof coins, they were pretty much handled like business strikes, that being they weren&#039;t handled singly, they were thrown into a hopper and that&#039;s why high grade SMS coins are rare. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully this clouded up the water sufficiently for the rest of you! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
