1964 Half Dollar question

Cam40

Dad told me I had some coins in the bank box I didnt know I had or forgot about.A BU roll of `64 Kennedys,BU roll of `64 D Washingtons,(2) Bicent.mint sets,one with an Ike with doubling on ONE DOLLAR.I think its machine doubling though..and some nice darksiders too.
Question I have is about the Halfs..All are nice and BU (lusterous) except one which seems to have a matte finish.
I know what a cleaned coin looks like believe me,so I know it isnt whizzed or anything.Are these anything or just a different type of finish and nothing to get excited over?
Thanks in advance.

Could be an SMS, which would make it worth some extremely obscene amount of money.

A 1964 SMS Half?

Cam40

It looks like it has a brushed-aluminum look.
Again ,I know its not post-strike alterations.

Damn it! I,m crossed-eyed now from eye-balling the hell out of this coin.
It sure isn`t anything but natural looking.

Cam40,

A very limited number of SMS sets were minted; estimates are in the 10 to 15 range. PCGS shows a pop of nine halves graded, BUT they show a pop of 23 quarters graded, so I wonder about the estimates. If it were actually an SMS and in decent grade, you could probably start the value at about $10k and work up from there.

Of course the odds of it actually being one are about the same as winning Powerball.
