Best Answer

Current retail prices are around $14.

Special Mint Sets cost $4 when first issued. The Mint suspended production of proof coins from 1965 to 1967 so that all facilities could be used to strike new copper-nickel coins to replace the billions of silver coins that had been removed from circulation and melted.

Collectors protested the suspension, and the Mint relented partially by issuing Special Mint sets. SMS coins were lower in quality than proofs but still better than standard circulation strikes.

What does SMS stand for in grading coins?

"SMS" is an abbreviation for "Special Mint Set". The US Mint did not produce any proof sets for collectors in the years 1965, 1966, 1967. Instead they produced what were called "Special Mint Sets". Generally they have better detail and luster than the everyday business strikes made for circulation. Proof set production was resumed in 1968.

How do you know if a dollar coin is Special Mint Set?

The Special Mint Sets issued in 1965, 1966 and 1967 contained only the cent, the nickel, the dime, the quarter and the half dollar. There were no dollar coins being minted during those years so there are no Special Mint set dollars. Most of the coins in those sets had finer detail and greater luster than the regular business strikes. Many of them even have a "proof like" appearance. There were no special markings on these coins so if you have one that is not with the set, other than the better appearance of the coin there is no sure way to tell if it is from a Special Mint Set or not.


What is the value of a 1957 uncirculated mint coin set?

The U.S. did not make proof sets in 1967, only special mint sets. The coins were copper-nickel except for the half dollar which was 40% silver. If you have a special mint set its value is about $10 retail. With the price of silver where it is you have 15 to 20 bucks in silver alone. If these is the 1967 Candien proof set i have seen them go for close to 50 bucks on eBay and that's starting the biding at a penny and watching it rise. I personal think the value is in how cool each coin is Candians seem to have more intresting coin designs than Amercain coins
