<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 466706, member: 11521&quot;]Sorry to have to agree with the others but you have been had. No way that coin is Gem BU. WAY too many marks. It&#039;s hard to tell from your photos but the coin looks to be circulated. The Mint did not strike SMS coins in 1964. When Proof coins were eliminated in 1965 they were replaced with SMS coins (SMS is for Special Mint Set) until the Mint resumed Proof coins in 1968. So, your coin would be either a Business Strike (for circulation) or a Proof. It certainly has no characteristics of Proof so I strongly feel it is a Business Strke. And a circulated Business Strike. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>SMS coins are not Proof coins (no mirror finish and not double-struck) but struck with extra pressure. SMS coins will have very good detail (due to the extra pressure during strking).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
