<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 2222633, member: 44615&quot;]You say that your son was born 2006? So it&#039;s a mystery to me then why it states SMS since the definition is as follows -</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Question: </b>What Is a Special Mint Set?</p><p><b>Answer: </b></p><p>A Special Mint Set, often called an SMS, is a set of coins issued by the U.S. Mint from 1965 to 1967. These coins are characterized by a better than average strike, since they were struck on higher-tonnage coin presses than circulation-quality coins, but they were not struck as Proofs. SMS coins do not have any Mint marks.</p><p>Special Mint Sets consist of one coin of each circulating type in the year it was issued: Cent, Nickel, Dime, Quarter-Dollar, and Half-Dollar. The coins were sealed in special packaging. In 1965, a clear vinyl plastic called &quot;pliofilm&quot; was used; in 1966 and 1967, the coins were placed into plastic cases. Both types sold for $4.00 per set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
