<p>[QUOTE="ksproul, post: 582502, member: 16855"]I recently ordered some coins online, including 1965, 1966, and 1967 Kennedy half dollars. I already had the SMS versions of each one from special mint sets I purchased a while ago, so I ordered these to fill the non-SMS holes in my Dansco album (not sure why the Kennedy album has holes for non-SMS coins from 65-67 when none of the other Danscos do). The place I ordered them from had both the SMS and regular ones for sale, so I specifically ordered the non-SMS versions. Now that I've received the coins, I think they look like SMS coins. For the most part, they're indistinguishable from my known SMS versions of these three years. I expected these to be somewhat more ordinary looking, like a regular BU Kennedy.</p><p> </p><p>So what I'm wondering is whether there's any foolproof way to tell whether these are SMS versions or not.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Kris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
