<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chascat, post: 2526788, member: 76792&quot;]I,ve often thought that&nbsp; the Philly Mint made these S P,s as a test set for Mrs. Kennedy,s approval of the new hair design. The type 1 obv. design has still never been encountered in mint state.&nbsp; The vary reason for S P,s existing at all would make sense if this were the case.&nbsp; 64 Proofs were all made in Philly, and SMS coins were all made in S F, the new proof making facility.&nbsp; Rick Tomaska refers to the S P strikes as &quot;proof patterns&quot;, which also would explain the type 2 obv. design change.&nbsp; The rev. on the S Ps is the type 1 var.&nbsp; If this coin has the type 2 rev., than it,s not a S P.&nbsp; After seeing your rev. photo,&nbsp; I believe it,s the type 2 variety, so your set is likely comprised of 64 bus. strikes, as mentioned earlier, 64 mint sets come in a wide variety of finishes and 2 rev. varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
