I still have problems with the 65-67 coins telling if SMS or MS - can I use rims to help me?

How does PCGS tell the 1964's , with some SMS graded as well - are they matte finish or how could you say SMS and not proof?

thanks for your time

    There are three ways the SMS coins differ from the commercial strikes. The rims, surfaces, and strike are different. It's hard to explain, you just have to look at a lot of coins. There is noticeable die eroision on the commercial strikes that is not evident on the SMS coins.

    Thanks,
