Kennedy question/PCGS price guide

KUCH

On the 1964 Kennedy Half there is a SMS price. As a newbie... what does SMS mean?

STONE

SMS= Special Mint Set

Scavenger

I believe it stands for "Special Mint Set".

NGC calls these Specimen. I think NGC is more correct.

How come there are no MS70 1964 Kennedy's? Surely someone saved one in pristine condition.

That's not the issue; it's whether the Mint ever produced one in pristine condition. High volume usually means low quality.
