<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2526572, member: 71723"]Well, in modern years, the Mint never has "re-dated" dies at all. They don't, and didn't in that era, ever take off a 4 and put on a 5. HOWEVER, they sure could, and occasionally have, put on a "wrong" reverse die. There are fairly numerous examples of these, such as Near AM vs. Far AM cents. The actual rehubbing of the half didn't happen until 1971. All 40% silver half hubs used the very same master hub relief as from 1964. Only the date was different.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have VERY little to go on for authenticating 1964 SMS coins, but I'd sure like to read more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
