Man, I love these things!













When you consider the crappy way these were minted, it's really quite amazing that some exist that look like proofs. That era at the mint is fascinating.

Woa....awesome contrast Russ!
I have had zero luck finding cam/dcam SMS coins raw. I have looked at alot of sets.

CoinAddict

Oh, it's just those. I thought you were going to show some Jeffersons.





Great coins, Russ.

SMS means???? (forgive my ignorance)

Are these newps, or old favorites?? I always check the sms sets (I know that's reduntant) at the local shops- they don't have kennedies like those usually........

Special mint set (finish). Believe it or not these puppies are not proofs.

Now that is what I am talking about. Very nice, Russ.

Both. A couple are recent additions.

Special Mint Set. From 1965 to 1967 the mint didn't produce proof sets or mint sets, but rather SMS. Kind if a "tweener" coin.

Ok, thanks for the definition. I actually have a few SMS then..early/mid 60's dates if I remember correctly...they are in the bank so I can't readily get to them to check.

Sweet nickles!

JFK doesn't look half bad, either.

Is that a pun?

Based on a PM I just got, I should add that a couple of these are graded DCAM. The others should be and probably will some day when PCGS pulls their head out.
