What's the chances of some minted in Denver ( SMS )
I never claimed that the 1964 mint set were sms coins. As best I remember I bought the mint set from the US Mint in 1964. They were an un-circulated set. I never had them re-set in an after market package. Also, I am not naive or stubborn and I don't like your arrogant attitude. My first and last post on this site.
As far as Denver who knows.All that is commonly known is proof sets were minted up until 1964 at Philly and the 1965,66,67 sms sets were minted at SanFran .Outside of these facts who knows.

<< <i>My understanding is that the 1964 SMS pieces were all in complete sets. It is extremely unlikely that an individual coin would show up and qualify as an SMS. >>
Thats not true, some were found when the director ( she ) of the mint died in 1995 ... >>
Huh?
The "director's" estate had complete sets which were purchases by7 Lester Merkin and later sold at auction. Not individual pieces from what I understand. However, this has not been validated.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
<< <i>The 1964 SMS dimes I've handled have a matte appearance. Well struck, but not like a proof. Lots and lots of die polish.
They are unmistakeable in hand. >>
Yes. The matte appearance is typical.
It might not be impossible enough coins were struck by one die to wear it off.
My guess is the pictured coin was inadvertly struck by newer dies under higher than normal pressure or maybe it was a combination of factors like a hot planchet or even struck twice. This would suggest it was mere coincidence the dies was a little different than most.
Odd balls like this one abound since 1964 and even older coins can be found fully PL.
<< <i>hey coinstudy please enlighten us here if you have any information pertinent to the 1964 SMS coins my understanding is not much is known about these...AT ALL
there is only known fact to when and where these were discovered and who had them....the scope of information stops there i struggle with your grouping of these with the 1965 to 1967 coins
by all rights these never should of been called "SMS" as they shouldn't be grouped in with 1965 to 1967 these are more like patterns...a limited run of trial pieces that weren't intended for release
"don't wing it here"...no one knows but if you have verified facts about 1964 SMS coins please enlighten us
a lil tidbit i'll toss in here russ stated he's seem these labeled as satin by anacs
so if anyone sees an anacs 1964 satin labeled coin....this is what you're looking at...a 1964 sms
a coin no one knows much about at all never officially released or offered for public purchase >>
Remember the Smithsonian was found in possession of numerous modern SMS-Like moderns.
The mint made lots of very odd coins especially between about 1964 and 1973.
Folks should reread the article, "Hidden in Plain Sight", in the August 2013 edition of Coin World, which describes the discovery of modern coins which had special finishes in the Smithsonian NNC. Evidently, these were prepared under the direction of Eva Adams, US Mint Director.
The same Mint Director whose estate contained the supposed 1964 SMS Sets.

Well, all I can say is "IF" the Smithsonian decided to sell their collection (which they can't) then I suppose its possible you might have some of them. But, I seriously doubt it.
Go to my photobucket library and read the entire story which has a complete listing of everyth9ng which was found including the grades assigned to the coins by NGC. Right Click to download if the display is too small.

<< <i>"I see know reason for him to lie to me, he's not selling them either"
it's not about lying...he's naive about 1964 sms coins and probably fully believes he has um
but he doesn't
question is...is he stubborn or open-minded enough to research his stated claim >>
I think thats what he's doing now
The 1965,66,67 special mint sets were minted at San Francisco cameIn a 40% silver clad Packaged in clear cello(no red or blue stripe)
In 65,66,67 there were no mint marks on any coin.
To look at any coin minted at Philly they technically have no mint mark or are plain.
I'm saying they don't exist,just highly unlikely.If they do they were struck with intention and not in error.

I've seen only pictures of the Smithsonian coins but the dime looks a little more like them than the '64 SMS.

<< <i>What is this?
1964 coins placed in either a 1966 or 1967 SMS Plastic Holder. Neither 1966 nor 1967 SMS Sets were actually sealed and opening them is a "snap".
To illustrate, I've put proof coins into a 1967 SMS Holder.
I didn't have any really good looking 1964 coins available so I opted for proofs.

It wouldn't be surprising if you're right.
I would be surprised if the dime was minted with the SMS coins.

This one is a little different then the 64, not as satiny but still an amazing coin [URL=http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/stash38/media/A007 - 20121021_172833 3_zpsniyaglin.jpg.html]
