The strategy was to address a severe coin shortage that started in the early 1960s. The business strike, here, was produced in Denver, while the SMS edition, below, was produced in San Francisco. No nickels were produced in Philadelphia in 1967.</p><p><br /></p><p>The original collector used the SMS in the 1967 slot instead of a business strike. This one was acquired by me. It is shiny and lustrous although it has issues with the planchet and the strike. </p><p><br /></p><p>It may deserve the rare &quot;no steps, no porch&quot; designation. I&#039;m glad Monticello has a back door because nobody is going in or out of the front one.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]845081[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]845084[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1967 SMS</b> (from the Dansco)</p><p>San Francisco did a nice job producing this proof-like SMS. Perhaps they were practicing for the Proofs they would make the next year with the S mint mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]845085[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
