<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1388708, member: 18157&quot;]I&#039;ve read a variety of articles on the subject...none that I can reference at the moment, though. It seems logical that as the Mint was preparing to make coins with the SMS finish they would make some test strikes. It would also seem &quot;plausible&quot; that a political appointee such as Eva Adams might use that opportunity to create some 1964 SMS coins as presentation sets to her Congressional supporters. Especially in the immediate aftermath of the Kennedy assassination.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just because these sets may not have been an official release of the US Mint doesn&#039;t necessarily mean they don&#039;t exist. I would think (or like to think) that PCGS would have been very deliberate when coming to the conclusion that some 1964 coins they inspected were struck with the SMS finish. I agree that it would be nice if there was some sort of conclusive documentation to support a finding either way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
