<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 370127, member: 11521&quot;]SMS = Special Mint Set</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Mint did not produce any Proof Sets in 1965, 1966 or 1967 and instead produced SMSs. The SMS coins are a hybrid between business strike coins and Proof coins. The dies were polished (like Proof dies) but the planchets were not (like business strike coins). The coins were struck once (like business strike coins), not twice (like Proof coins).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Mint produced Proof 1964 Kennedy Halves and apparently inadvertently produced a handful of 1964 SMS Kennedy Halves in 1965.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
