proof dime from a sms?

Was on ebay and saw this. Sorry I don't know how to link. Item # 1395173140. I thought the 65/66/67 sets were all sms. But this dime is graded proof. Am I missing something? thanks, Mark

    What pop reports?

    Not hardly. There's plenty of junk in NTC slabs. Oh, wait, maybe he's referring to something else?

    Man, did this guy get screwed.

    The owner obviously believes that the coin is not mislabeled. There were polished
    planchets used for some of th SMS dimes. If one of these were struck twice the re-
    sultant coin would be a proof since the dies were prepared as proof dies. I've never
    seen a proof dime in an SMS, but have heard rumors of them since the beginning.

  • So, is this coin something to be excited about, or a mistake by the grading company?

  • Obviously a messed up label. You note that he shows a close up of the label but not one of the coin. That's probably because you can tell even from the so so scan of the whole slab that this coin wouldn't even rate the cam designation. So it's not a proof and it's not a cam, any bets that it's not a 69 either?

    abmluce,

    It's overgraded crap from the only slabbing company that may actually be sleazier than ACG.
