[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1835425, member: 68"]There are a few difficulties here. SMS's are one of the tougher moderns to send in for a grade high enough to profit. These are still the red headed step children of numismatics and the demand isn't as strong as it is for proofs or unc coins. Regular high grade coins from these sets are highly desirable but the market is thin. Much of the demand is for the highly PL coins and the frosted cameo coins. And herein lies the biggest problem; frosted cameo of great enough intensity to recieve the designation are quite scarce. To compound this rather large problem is most of the SMS's seen on the market have been checked by somebody to see if a cameo is there.
