<p>[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 2321821, member: 29751"]Many Special Mint Set (SMS) coins from 65-67 do <b>not</b> have much of if any of a mirrored finish, and their surfaces are not what I'd even call prooflike. It is not always easy to differentiate these, and even the TPGs get it wrong. Sure, there are <i>some </i>SMS coins from the 1960s that have mirrorlike surfaces, and even some frosty devices to merit Cameo or Ultra Cameo designations -- but there are also a lot of these SMS coins with surfaces <u><i>very similar</i></u> to the business strikes from the same years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
