<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2075213, member: 70703&quot;]I&#039;m curious because I have a handfull that I *think* might grade MS65. My thought is to submit 5 to NGC, if they grade 65 or higher, I might sell, if they come back 64 or lower, I&#039;d keep them as a side project I&#039;ve started...more on that potentially later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is why I&#039;m asking. SMS strikes were the answer from the mint for a collector coin when proofs weren&#039;t minted in 65-67. As such, and as many sources indicate, the sms coins, if not cameo, can be indistinguishable from an unc business strike coin from the same year.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins I have, while I&#039;m confident that they are indeed SMS strike coins, aren&#039;t in any official mint packaging. That being the case will a TPGs disqualify them as an SMS strike because there is no evidence of them being authentic SMS strikes, and grade them as only UNC business strike coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
