1964 Silver Kennedy half dollar uncirculated DDO?

I'm considering having this coin graded, but having trouble with the declared value because there is big variation in the value of this coin. It looks like a smooth satin finish an has a light gold hue around the rim. I don't think this is a sms coin, so if you could confirm that for me I would appreciate it. I have it as a DDO. Your expert advice an guidance would also be appreciated.

    “Easily visible…”

    Hope this helps, hard for me to see in the photo.

    We need closer/clearer pictures of this area.

    No there isn't. It is currently worth about $11.50. what makes you think differently? How much do you think it is worth?

    I don't think this is a sms coin, so if you could confirm that for me I would appreciate it.

    Did you get it from Eva Adams estate? If not, then it isn't SMS.

    I have it as a DDO.

    Why do you have it as a DDO? What do you think DDO means?

    I can't help without clearer photos of the coin. There are 36 DDO's for 64' Philly including proofs.
    The photos have to be better.
    This definitely isn't a 64D quadruple die obv.

    Please do all of us, and yourself, an enormous favor.

    Before you post a question please look at the images you are going to post and ask yourself if you could determine anything about the coin from the images, because if you can't then it is likely we can't, either. Then, if you still believe you can ask the questions, please tell us why you think a certain coin might have certain attributes instead of just saying you think it is something without giving a reason.

    Numismatics can be fun, but while every coin can be looked at as a lottery ticket, nearly every coin is already a scratched-off loser.

    You should not be considering having any coins graded.

    A reminder of the advice I gave you a few months ago:
