<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1733446, member: 15929&quot;]The ability to discern an SMS coin from a Business Strike coin has eluded even the experts. As such, any high grade Business Strike coin automatically gets an SMS Label. The submitter always has to question the TPG giving an explanation of the coins origins along the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is still tough though since it is possible that an SMS coin made its way into a business strike roll. Usually, its the word of the submitter and their knowledge level that can make the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>Generally speaking, the SMS coins will have a higher relief than the business strikes and be relatively devoid of bag marks.</p><p>Another clue is the actual die itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, if a specific doubled die is known to exist only on a business strike coin, then the coin is a business strike. I have experienced this with a 1966 Kennedy and a 1965 Kennedy and both required resubmission to get them corrected.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
