<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2675358, member: 77413&quot;]The three special mint sets from 1965-1967 were produced at the San Francisco mint, even though they do not bear a mint mark. All three of the SMS Lincolns are well struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>The planchets were not polished before striking, as they would have been for proofs. This close up from the 1965 and 1966 SMS&#039;s show how&nbsp; roughness in the planchet can be seen below the Memorial. It was not completely smoothed out during striking. The 1966, at right, has roughness visible right up through the steps. The 1967 SMS below does not show that kind of issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]596576[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1967 SMS</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]596573[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1967 Business strike</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]596572[/ATTACH] </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
