Found this 1964 D Kennedy
Could this be a SMS/Accent hair?
Seems to have a better detail then a business strike, similar to an SMS but apparently they didn’t make SMS’s with D mint marks. 🤔 and a matte finish in the field.
Instead of the satin finish, it’s more of a matte finish. In the FG initials, the G is straight, missing the hooked or curved shape like a business strike. On the word Liberty, the right side of the I seems to have 2 different serifs then the left side. The rays are broken, also no teardrop under the 4 as well. Weight is normal at 12.5 g
Thank you for your opinions

Looks like an AUish 64-D half dollar. Probably not SMS.
SMS is not accented hair
that is not a sms and not a proof
The field has a matte finish with all the markers. Can anyone explain the markers? I’m not quite understanding this Kennedy.
Probably?

you're seeing things that aren't there
it has an important die marker for 1964 coins that aren't sms - the D mintmark
Don't worry about them; finding rare coins is not for you. Hope you find another aspect of coin collecting that you enjoy.
No, it doesn't. If you think otherwise, that's a good sign that you don't know what a matte finish looks like.
No, it doesn't. It has none of the markers. If you think otherwise, that's a good sign that you don't know what the markers are.
It is physically impossible to find a 1964 SMS coin in circulation. Anyone who told you otherwise is playing you for a fool.
On the Accented Hair the truncated part of the I is on the opposite side of the coin you’re posting.

I was hoping to encourage the OP to reconsider his evaluation of the coin.
That's very nice... although extremely optimistic.

This is a standard 1964-D half dollar.
The accented hair variety is a proof only issue.

What were you pretending to be?
Yes, some people here are rude. However, you're not helping your case with such claims.
You found a 1964 SMS? Nearly impossible. They all source from a very specific pedigree. Could we see a picture of your slabbed coin? Such claims don't help your credibility. Especially when you just asked about a 1964-D of which there are exactly ZERO known.

Well I’m definitely NOT a pro and never claimed to be. Glad some of you are born with ALL the knowledge without even EVER learning, so running your mouths is all you can provide. 🙄 We ALL gotta start somewhere, and things don’t quite click with all people that have autism, so forgive me. My point is my wording was not correct SMS, accent hair and business strike.
So sorry I apologize for that because I’m still learning. The coin I am speaking of has differences then all three. The ears, lips, around the eyes and hair is slightly different, similar, but different details. Mine just seems different. Idk, I’m asking for opinions, not mouth running and smartazz comments, because I can surely do that. Thank you very much for the ones that actually help. 🙏🏻
It sounds like your 1964 SMS has a self designation, not one from one of the top 4 grading services. Being new, as you said, what experience do you have to where you are able to even recognize one of the true rarities of the series?

Who was rude and who was "running their mouths"? You tell us. I saw people trying to help you.
Everyone has to start somewhere, and a good place to start is by filling a Whitman folder. You can do that for Kennedy halves, since you seem to have an interest in that series. Forget about the various design varieties and strike types; that is not the right starting place for you.
Your coin is not a new design variety and there is nothing special about it. Put it in a Whitman folder and move on to the next coin in the set.
Good advice. Ike helps; the T stands for tough love.
