<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3382600, member: 84179"]I agree that it can be dangerous to use absolutes but think of the incredibly low probability of one of these coins being broken out of a slab, entered circulation, and then found by a new collector who happened to see a video on Youtube. If the OP had a plausible back story, such as a relative or family friend worked at the mint or was friends with Adams or another upper level mint employee, then maybe there is a small chance. But to find one in circulation? Never say never but I think I think I would have significantly better success buying scratch off lottery tickets to finance my retirement than I would have of finding a 64SMS in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the 64SMS has been widely publicized on the click bait you tube videos, it’s not surprising that new collectors think they found one. But the fact that there have been very, very few authenticated and they have come through known channels, not circulation means telling a newbie they don’t have one is being realistic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
