My 2nd comment. I'm really glad I watched!! I've been to the local coin shop, to buy my ounce of silver each month (if I have the extra money). While there I have seen "proof sets"! Without knowing anything about collecting except, wheat cents and silver! I wanted to buy my brother a proof set from his birth year 1966. Very coincidental that your having the giveaway on the same year. I didn't even think about that until after I typed the year. Anyway this guy (who's not all there in the head, which I noticed the 1st time I went in to get my 1st ounce of silver) He said that they didn't make any that year, well technically he's right but like you just showed me they have SMS! THANK YOU FOR THAT!! I looked for my birth year and they did have a proof set! So I put the bug in my daughter and mother's ear for potential b-day or Christmas gift 👍!! Also looked at one for my daughter, she's now hooked on collecting too! We both bought the Lincoln Memorial Books the cheap $3.00 ones! We've been filling those up slowly. We sit down for about 2 hours each night to look though my old change!! But what you are doing is helping my daughter and I bond even more than we already were!!! Thank You for all you do!!!! 💱🇺🇸👍
I just watched your July 15th 2019 vid on 1960's Jefferson Nickels! I found it very interesting! I'm very new to "Coin Collecting"! I've been a hoarder of coins since I was 18, never spending or parting with any pocket change! Over the past couple of years I've been buying about 1oz. of silver each month when I have the extra money. However over the past 2 to 3 weeks I have got the bug of collecting! Well... going through my old coins and putting aside every coin that looks good!! Also did my first quarter roll hunt 10 days ago! To look for silver and mostly the 2019 W mint! I found one W mint on my 7th roll, YAY!!! Those coins from the hunt I'll have to bring back to the bank, since it was my bill money, ouch! I am putting aside several of the coins that stand out. From what I've learned by watching you. I found you guys by accident! It's a cool story, but long! This comments been long enough and I haven't even said what I 1st wanted to say! Uhg! Have a GREAT Day!!!!
Also I have a 1968 -U.C. set in same kind of envelope as the 1965 SMS set this has 2 sets of coins in the plastic what are they they also have a blue bureau of the mint plastic coun in one and a red one in the other? thanks for help
I have a question, I cannot get an straight answer from all the videos on youtube, i see 1965 is on a plastic with and envelope, but I have a 1964 sms with the package of a 1966 like the one you show in your video, and I can find another one like mine nowhere, is my set special ??
J&b. I have complete series 1990 to 1999 on 24kt gold planchet. Are these the ones on ur list for wash.25 and do they carry premium. Thank retired fire rick
I purchased the 1964 1965 1966 & 1967...the coins are stunning. The 1964 & 1965 Lincoln Memorial Cent have full steps and still intact in the blue case. The 1966 & 1967 Jefferson Nickles have complete full steps. I haven't submitted to NGC or PCGS before and these are all still in the original plastic. What is a coin goddess like myself to do lol? I am pretty confident that the coins are mint state, they look unique and new especially the 1964 Lincoln cent. I have other proof and circulated coins I have compared the SMS Set coins up against.
I believe i have a jefferson 1964 no mintmark nickel, uncirculated, satin like finish,square not rounded edges,deeper inset. I imported a set of hamilton mint presidents,first 38 presidents gold plated, to australia and upon opening the box i also found the 1964 nickel in a 2 x2 paper envelope and also a 1980 washington quarter circulated but very high grade, they have been sitting in my drawer for the last 20 years and only took them out to look after watching your show.i am mostly a silver collector so i am not really familiar with american coins, but from what i have seen my coin has all the attributes of being sms fs 1964 nickel
Dee ann Hi Dee Ann , I'm wondering if you were ever able to understand why some of the coins are not in the cameo finish and some are ? I just received some "special mint" sets I'd bought on eBay . A 1965 , 1966 and 1967 . The '66 and '67 are in nice hard plastic cases and are in that gorgeous finish and the '65 is just in the cellophane plastic and the coins look NOTHING like a cameo finish . The penny in particular looks worse than those in a regular uncirculated mint set . Complete with carbon spots . If you understand why this is , I'd really appreciate any info . I'm SO disappointed as I was born in '65 and had wanted to have a cameo coin for that date . Forgive the long comment ! All The Best , Lisa
Okay, I just watched this video and started my hunt for 1966 / 1967 sms. I now own a stack of both but what is questionable is I am sitting her with 6 brown envelopes dated 1964 P.C, also i have American Series lastly what appears to be a 1966 case with all 1964 coinage, Half, .25 and the .10 are all silver but the penny in 1964D. THE American Series same SMS coinage with the case appears to be intact. Forgot out of the 6 brown SMS envelopes I have 2 which are sealed and the content is unknown.
I have quite a few mint sets, mint silver sets and mint proof sets. My original intention was to dismantle the sets and place the individual coins in the albums that I use in 2 x 2 holders. I would like your opinion on this. Are the sets more valuable if left intact?
Hello, and thanks for information on the SMS Sets? Question , how do you know if it's a high cameo set or not? I have a beautiful 1965 SMS set and am curious? Thanks
love those SMS coins!!!😁 so best advice is to definitely get graded first before contacting heritage?? what if I sent it for a free appraisal would they suggest to get graded if they thought they could sell later?
That mint set of coins you had all in plastic I heard it wasn't good to keep them that way because they would get a hazy and destroy the coins. I mean like over a long period of time. Is that true? Dave from Maine.
Also, I have a 1964 SMS, and the nickel looks like it's blue for some reason, do you know much about that..? It's really pretty almost like a gunmetal blue.
Completely confused. Kennedy Half featured here graded SP67 for a 1965 when the Mint did not declare that these were Proof strikes?, Clearly I dont know enough about the cause of "deep Cameo" in the minting process. TYVM for piqued interest. I need to learn more, look again at the 60s SMS sets stored away.
They're not considered proofs unless they're struck at least twice, so none of the 65-67 SMS coins qualify as proofs. However the dies and planchets were specially prepared, and many of them in early die states show proof like qualities in the fields. A coin is considered "cameo" when it has a distinctive contrast between the devices and the fields (deep cameo is when it is a very high contrast).
Hi JB can you do a video of 1935 mint set I haven’t heard anything about 1935 proof sets . I love your videos I’m a fan of your videos thank you let me know is possible about 1935 mint sets thank you. I’m learning a lot from your videos.Thank you again.
There were no proof sets minted in 1935. Proof sets were minted from 1858 to 1916, again from 1936 to 1942, yet again in 1950 to 1964, then 1968 to the present.
The credit goes to B. She is doing the research for the content for our videos, choosing the topics and creating the whole video from the start to the end)
I've had my sets in a vault for 10yrs @ recently took them out and I'm ready to sell, when they were graded ms64 @ above. I love em but it's time to let em go, I need the cash
JB If you where to have one of those sets with one deep cameo coin, would you leave it in the original holder and send all 5 coins to be graded or would PCGS want you to remove them? Myself I would feel better leaving them all together and let PCGS separate them. Another Very informative Video
If you want the grading company to issue SMS designation, you need to leave them in original folder and sent the whole folder to them. You would need to indicate which coin/coins you want them to grade.
Good information, I'll have to watch for these. I did not know that anyone actually used IE... It is the first thing I tell my adult students to avoid. Lol
Indeed there is; it was minted in Philadelphia (the last year proof sets were minted in Philadelphia) and like the 1965 SMS shown in this video, the coins were in a pliofilm package sent out in a brown envelope.
My 2nd comment. I'm really glad I watched!! I've been to the local coin shop, to buy my ounce of silver each month (if I have the extra money).

you know I'm looking for these sets now.
my mouth fell open when you put up Heritage auction on those coins . thank you, what great information
I just picked up all three sets. Thanks Jay for all the great information you share.
Very helpful video, I just purchased a 65 SMS set for a whopping 9.00 in original packet!! Loved this video!! Thanks B&J!! God Bless!!
Thanks J & B! Good stuff as always!!! I love mint and proof sets...and of course the SMS!
Also I have a 1968 -U.C. set in same kind of envelope as the 1965 SMS set this has 2 sets of coins in the plastic what are they they also have a blue bureau of the mint plastic coun in one and a red one in the other? thanks for help
mint set
So if you find any coin through 1965-1967 with a mint mark they came from one of these sets? And would they have more value than face value?
I have a question, I cannot get an straight answer from all the videos on youtube, i see 1965 is on a plastic with and envelope, but I have a 1964 sms with the package of a 1966 like the one you show in your video, and I can find another one like mine nowhere, is my set special ??
JB I found the 1967 double strike it has been certified as such it was in the proof set what did you think
I have a 65 SMS in the long hard case like your 66 and 67. Must be a late 65? Thanks for the great info.
J&b. I have complete series 1990 to 1999 on 24kt gold planchet. Are these the ones on ur list for wash.25 and do they carry premium. Thank retired fire rick

Would you send the whole set in to have them graded to see if it was one of those rare coins?

Very informative, thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it.
Приветствую!Очень красивые наборы монет!Спасибо за обзор!
Thanks for the info I did buy some like these and was worried that there was no cameo.

So is the SMS coins have a different weight too them,from the normal produced coins??? ?????
Okay, I just watched this video and started my hunt for 1966 / 1967 sms.

Hello, and thanks for information on the SMS Sets? Question , how do you know if it's a high cameo set or not? I have a beautiful 1965 SMS set and am curious? Thanks
the contrast of frosty black and white look if you open or removed from cello/plastic you can see cameo alot better
I always enjoy your videos for the information you provide.
love those SMS coins!!!😁 so best advice is to definitely get graded first before contacting heritage?? what if I sent it for a free appraisal would they suggest to get graded if they thought they could sell later?
I have a graded SMS California state quarter with the satin finish. i personally don't see the difference, but it's probably just my eyes.
Imagine getting a 65 quarter on a silver plancent in a SMS
I just bought a 1967 ms 67 sms dime for a good price. It's why I looked up the video.
I love all 3 of my SMS's...
That mint set of coins you had all in plastic I heard it wasn't good to keep them that way because they would get a hazy and destroy the coins. I mean like over a long period of time. Is that true? Dave from Maine.
only if the plastic is pvc based plastic. If you store coins in non pvc plastic holders they will be fine.
And they are absolutely stunning
I also found 1969's double strike very visible to the eye I wish I had some help and selling it
What is a cameo feature.... Maybe you could do a video on them PLEASE.
Also, I have a 1964 SMS, and the nickel looks like it's blue for some reason, do you know much about that..? It's really pretty almost like a gunmetal blue.

we did; check the this video: " The most valuable US Mint Proof Set! Proof set worth money! B&J
There were no proof sets minted in 1935. Proof sets were minted from 1858 to 1916, again from 1936 to 1942, yet again in 1950 to 1964, then 1968 to the present.

Thank you for watching! J&B
Thank you! Now I'm totally with it
I fell double strike 1967 SMS proof set looks like Lincoln monument in the background on both sides
i actually own a rare 1964 sms set. stacks and bowers didnt believe me, just wait till i send them for grading.
The history behind why the mint choses to put out coins in they’re chosen elements.
The 1965 SMS set I just received in the mail looks horrible compared to the one here ! A definite cherry-picker on Ebay .
J&b can u do a comparison of cameo,deep cameo,and regular,thnx it's confusing....
will do
Interesting video indeed. Thanks for the info J.

GOOD SHOW I LIKE THE INFORMATION...
I enjoy all three of mine :) thanks for sharing
thanks going to my local LCD to check on SMS and cherrypick.
I have learned a lot from your videos. I just subscribed so i can stay informed. I am new to this so anytips would be welcome!
welcome:)
I've had my sets in a vault for 10yrs @ recently took them out and I'm ready to sell, when they were graded ms64 @ above. I love em but it's time to let em go, I need the cash
sorry, it happens:)
Thank you.
Great video
I just sent off a 66 sms dime in cameo toned to be graded
JB If you where to have one of those sets with one deep cameo coin, would you leave it in the original holder and send all 5 coins to be graded or would PCGS want you to remove them? Myself I would feel better leaving them all together and let PCGS separate them. Another Very informative Video
P.C.G.S. requires you to remove them and put them into individual flips.
Thank You
If you want the grading company to issue SMS designation, you need to leave them in original folder and sent the whole folder to them. You would need to indicate which coin/coins you want them to grade.
Oh, never new that. Was always told to take them out first. Good to know in case I ever get a full sms set.
Good information, I'll have to watch for these. I did not know that anyone actually used IE... It is the first thing I tell my adult students to avoid. Lol
I think I just found a 67 penny it's so pretty!!!
Hey JB thank you sir
Wow that's awesome
That cool, thank you for the information.
Thank you for watching! J&B
So interesting J&Bcoins
Is there a 1964 proof set?
Indeed there is; it was minted in Philadelphia (the last year proof sets were minted in Philadelphia) and like the 1965 SMS shown in this video, the coins were in a pliofilm package sent out in a brown envelope.
Why then 1964 SMS doesn't have no mint mark except for the quarter
Is that is true you have a lot of money. You need to get them graded.
Thanks J&B
As always, thank you for watching:)
Hey everyone I got sooo many 2009D I would like to train with someone for Philly mint role for role
That's cool.
I have 5 of those sets
They are the coins the first stricks are sharper
Address the 1964 SMS. Big money.
Not sure why I’m just now seeing this video, but I just got all three years for $30.00
