We should all agree not to answer these "what happened to this penny" or "is this the ultra rare cent I found in change" especially if they have less than 100 posts. There seems to be a pattern with these posts.
I do not agree.
Responding to new users helps keep the board alive AND increases interest in numismatics.
However, if the new user then claims to be an expert while the rest of us are idiots, then ignore them.
By all outwards appearances, this poster was setting a trap. Trolling, if you will, to get answers to naive questions that s/he already believed they had the answers to.
Thus user is not the first to use this tactic on their road to fame and glory in the numismatic world and s/he wan't be the last. BUT, folks have to at least give them a chance.
I don't have a problem helping out a person who is seriously interested in coins. Every few days a smashed up Lincoln shows up with a brand new poster asking how their cent got damaged. Or they show up claiming to have found a 1 out of a million coin while roll searching, its a strange pattern to me. I highly doubt a person needs help in figuring out "what happened to this coin?"

It may be a strange pattern to you but it's just what happens as folks try to understand coins and coin collecting.
There are many new and even current collectors that just do not have a good grasp on the minting process and how things happen but every question is important and deserves some type of response.
Those that are truly interested will learn and those that aren't will just walk away grumbling about how dumb all of us are.
No problem.
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.

Absolutely!
These are coming from Facebook. These posts are common there.
I'll see if I could take the pictures good enough so you can see the micro-cracking around the edges and the giant Mart at the seven to eight position on the coin only the 1927 special strike nickels have this guy mark because all 5 of them we're stuck with the same guys no other 1927 nickels have these characteristics I'll get back with you.
I ready admit I could have been wrong I'm trying to put the coins up so you can see and tell me if you think they got it wrong. I can imagine what you guys have to go through dealing with people that don't know anything about coins. I know more than most and I'm still learning and enjoying the trip I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving
I would like to thank you for the analysis and presentation on the coins that you have seen and had in hand. I must point out to you you have not had the coin that I have in hand.

I agree.
But what happened to this one? I think it might be an SMS.

Huh ?????
What does a circ. 1927 Buffalo have to do with the fantasy idea of the OP's 1964 SMS 1c?
Now I am really confused.
Perhaps I should try to call my guy mark and have him check out the guy mark.

No it's obviously not an SMS.......my guy mark says so.......and he knows his guy marks.
The fact that you refuse to show the label proves to me that PCGS did not authenticate this as a "special" nickel. So, PCGS says it is not, the experts here say it is not, but you still insist that it is.
Also, someone posted to the nickel thread a picture of the actual special nickel and yours does not match it.

If you look up the description of the 1964 special strike penny you will see that is one of them. The way you can tell is look at the fingerprint below Liberty it has a full smooth surface that's satiny and not mirror like it has sharp Square rims and as you can see the color is quite different. I find it interesting that you could say with such certainty that this is not one of them when you know so little about the coins.
WHAT???????????????

Yeah, no, you don't. And you keep trying to make some point with that damn nickel that shows you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. They are apples and ... banyan trees. Time to move it along, l'il dogies.

Don't let them get you down man, keep searching. I believe I found one in circulation as well. It has 100% matching die markers, the obverse fingerprints, and a certain toning you just have to see in person....these pictures of mine are average at best.
It's going to be a bitch sending it in to get verified though, they are very weary of assigning this variety strike...
I thought 18 steps referred to the steps on the memorial. There do not appear to be any steps on this example so I guess I am misinformed. Please explain.

No I will not. And you can be right if you choose to it's okay with me. I have the coin in hand so I can see it much better than you can. And you can believe I've done a lot of research on this coin so I know what I have come on dude no one knows everything smile and be happy.
Going back to your original post and your question about mintage numbers ...
If you've done "a lot of research" you should know how many were made and why.

Since your able to take pictures why dont you post a FULL picture showing the label of coin?
To everbody else who post information on this was very informative insights and learned something new.
Thank you.
