64 sms with doubled obv and rev?

I have found something I'm very confused by and exited over. But I cannot find enough info to confirm or deny what it is or isn't. I've got a 64 Kennedy half dollar with major doubling front and rear on EVERYTHING!! And a die break from ear through mouth the conventional I. D. Constraints aren't really prominent as described but the doubling could had wiped them out. The finish is soft satiny with a very pronounced strike it's a p coin (or missing mint) I have a feeling it's unique and potentially life adjusting money if my hunch is correct. I believe it to be a discovery and one of a kind... To all and any Kennedy . 50 folks in the know I could sure use a bit of guidance. New to this stuff and don't want to waste time and money grading if I'm just being confused?.... Thank you

    Pictures would be an absolute necessity.

    And I wouldn't start spending your windfall just yet.

  • C'mon man I ask for help and get laughed at? Thanks 👍

    @1sapoverde Pics of the coin might help anybody to help you. Chances are it is not "life adjusting money".

    You don't have any chance of having a 64 SMS unless you were associated with a former mint directors family or purchased one when the controversial coins hit the market in the late 80s. They weren't released to the public

    Stay away from the "get rich from pocket change" YouTube scam videos. They are only looking for clicks and never tell you the whole story.

    Edit to add: sorry if it sounded like I'm giving the new member a hard time. Not my intent. It's just the YouTube crap that gives people a false hope that gets me going. Please post a focused and cropped pic of your coin, and the members will tell you what you have and point you to sites where you can do some more resesrch.

    Welcome to the forum! :)

  • Right... Either way it's doubled big time front n rear n has a unique finish. I've got it next to a bunch of silvers n it's definitely a stand alone. The doublings intense. Can't figure out how to put up picks here I've got bunches of uncirculated silvers man not a single mark on lots of them

  • Thanks man now if I could only figure out how to post pics? 💕🤔😌😬😭

    Simply right click on the pic and copy and then paste in the post. EZPZ.

  • And it's strike it much more prominent than the other coins and nothing close by way of finish or luster

    Either edit your original post, or create a new one, but click the image looking icon, then browse to where the pics are on your device and select them.

    Like someone mentioned, an SMS is probably unlikely, but with 38 DDOs listed with variety vista, and 28 at Wexler's site for 1964 combined MS/Proof, you might have something neat, although perhaps not life-changing. Not too many dual DDO/DDRs though.

    Post your pictures, and someone will be able to identify it for you though.

    1.) search internet to find coin forum.
    2.) make first post and state you know what you have but need help.
    3.) argue with members and become vulgar.
    4.) claim ignorance.
    5.) leave embarrassed never to be seen/heard from again.

    man, I was starting to get bored, we hadn't had one of these drive-bye's in a few weeks. :p
