<p>[QUOTE="Jim Johns, post: 2592980, member: 78172"]Also..the 1965 Mint Report stated they were going full force on getting the SF Mint back at it to continue striking the 1964's under the coinage act so there's a great chance the 1964 dies were shipped off and refinished for further striking to keep up with demand. Some of those dies were likely worn proof dies and along came the SMS coins. It has been noted several times that they look to be struck from refinished dies. So..in theory, after months of finding pretty much every detail I can, there should be more out there. They have also been noted to strongly resemble the 1965 SMS coins and I can day that the subdued luster is dead on and the strike is much sharper on my 1964 compared to the 1965. Then again, the composition is entirely different so that's why I always question it instead of just sending them out. Just my thoughts on the matter but I will certainly post results when my dime comes back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
