<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1125613, member: 11521&quot;]Eric, SMS coins are somewhere between Business Strike and Proof. Business Strike coins are struck once under normal pressure on normal planchets using normal dies. Proof Coins are struck twice (or more) under higher pressure on specially-prepared planchets using highly-polished dies. SMS coins were struck once under higher pressure (but less pressure than for Proof coins) on normal planchets using polished dies. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In general, an SMS coin will be better-struck than a Business Strike coin and will have semi-Prooflike surfaces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
