I noticed a post on the Q&A Forum. It asked about a SMS Jefferson graded 70. DH answered PCGS has never graded a SMS coin 70. I show 8 1994 and 73 1997 coins graded 70 by PCGS. Hope the guy didn't re-sell it for $5.

    Isn't SMS coins 1965, 1966, & 1967 Special Mint Sets? Wasn't that what HRH was talking about?

    I'm not sure I understand your statement - how does 1994 and 1997 have anything to do with SMS?

    The 94 Jefferson Set consisting of The nic, the jeff comm. dollar, and the $2 dol. bill. That's the SMS for 94
    I THINK there were something in the ballpark of 25,000 matte uncirculated nicks minted for 94
    What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

    The more recent dates mentioned are considered "special mint sets*," but are not the classic SMS from the 60's that people are usually referring to.



    *Added: Special MS versions of these coins were produced these years

    From the question, I'd bet a dollar to a donut the guy was referring to one of those POS SGS SMS70s.

    He asked about the 1965.

    Ahh...Okay. I had no idea that SMS was used for anything but 1965-1967 coinage.

    Ole D.H. should check his pop. report: 5- 94 SMS at 70 & 3 -94 SMFS at 70...Either he's wrong or the pop. report's wrong.

    One more time. He asked about the 1965.

    No mention of 65 in THIS thread initiation. I don't know who asked about a 65. D.H apparently said PCGS has never graded a SMS coin in 70, thus, my reply.

    Yeah, that was conveniently left out by the originator.

    OK-I missed the 1965 in the other thread title. Technically, the answer is still wrong, but put in context of 1965 in title, it was correct for the person that asked it.
