Don't forget that these were discovered in the mint director's collection when she passed away. There is also one example that has been found that didn't have the "tear drop 4". Blows my mind that the mint director blames the coin collecting community for the coin shortage then takes away mint marks. In the meantime she is pumping out special strike coins and putting them in her collection.

Great you acknowledge the edge I commented on coinhelpu's video where I believe there should be more images shown about this as its a big indicator of this 1964 sms half dollar. The more you can show and acknowledge about identifying such a coin should be out there so people aren't saying they have one without all identifying indicators of such coins. 👍

@louieatienza8762 4 жыл бұрын

The actual story is, there was a shortage of coins in the 60s due to hoarding, so the mint was to remove silver from coins starting in 1965. Also, to curtail hoarding, they would remove all mint marks from coins, even though all three mints produced coins from 1965-1967. The SMS was produced to allow the Philadelphia mint to produce more business strikes instead of tying up presses for the slow process of proof striking. So a dozen sets were created, and at one time were the possession of one collector. They eventually got broken up and sold off. But no, you're not going to find one of these in loose change or at the table at the local show's bargain bin. People knew these were special for a while now...

Hey Shaun I really think I have the 1964 Kennnedy Half . It’s in a plastic holder , I bought years ago because it s my Birth year. But I’m very new to this hobby. Because of you’re videos, I have found ,I think a lot of coins! From 1 5 gallon water jug. And a couple of coins I bought at a second hand store. Should I take thiscoin out of plastic? To put under my new coin scope??

Hey Blue Ridge. Your videos have been very helpful.. definitely a useful resource. Only been collecting for a few month's but i gotta say, when the bug bit I was all in. And I Still am. Ive been to like 200 banks coin roll hunting. ANYWAYS. Still very much a rookie I've gotta question for you. The brown hue around the edges of the obverse...? I have a 1971 (0% silver..examined edge and weighed) that's covered entirely in this cool brownish-red hue...So..what is it called? (If its called anything) Is it a good thing? Is it a natural process?... or did it spend most of its life at the bottom of a septic tank? And for the record. I not asking If the coin is worth anything. I know it's not. I'm just here for the knowledge buddy. So if its the ladder and I should go wash my hands. Id appreciate the heads-up.. Cheers..

I have such a coin. It was in circulation. Fortunately, the time is quite short, as you can see on it, but it is not battered. Personally, I think it's the most beautiful American circulation coin of the twentieth century. The more I learn about it, the more closely I look at it. I'm seeing more and more anomalies on it and I'm starting to wonder if it's worth sending it for a professional assessment and risking unnecessary expenditure of money because it seemed to me something. U.S. coins are a difficult subject for an amateur from Europe.

Like I said I'm sending it to be graded cause I'm pretty sure it's an accented hair at least.

Happy Easter BRSH. My brother is getting married in few hours so gotta be quck with my question.The coin in your video is Auction#1239 Lot#5545 sold at HA 9/7/16 which shows serifed I in liberty..dangled 4 in date of obverse indictive of a normal non-accented strike....reverse shows broken rays 11-13 & straight G. Now onto Auction#1114 Lot#2704 sold 7/30/08 at HA..obverse has serifed I but no dangled 4...reverse shoes broken rays & straight G. Both reverses are the type 1 & both obverse show normal strike. My question is would a 64 example with the type 1 reverse be considered a SMS or SP(specimen)?? I have 3 examples with type 1 reverse & 1 was confirmed to be a straight G. 4 examples with solid rays & flaired G. What are your thoughts???? Thank you in advance for any info & may you have a Blessed Easter!!
