1965 Special Mint Set Half?

[Avago]

Hey all, I posted a thread a few days ago trying to figure out if my '65 half was a proof and gathered it may actually be from a Special Mint Set since no proofs were minted in that year. I took a few pics comparing a clad proof, the '65, and a regular 40%. It may be hard to tell from the pics below, but do you think I have a SMS half or just a proof-like '65? Thanks!

You will know when you find one. The rim will be wider and the edge will be sharp.

Sure looks like it may very well be. I remember I found a '65 or '66 half a couple of years ago myself that had a rather glossy finish that I thought was probably from a SMS too. I think I got mine from either some loose halves or cwrs.

H$H!

Wish I could tell you Avago, but I'm kinda an idiot when it comes numismatics and such with halves, I'm just a Silver whore . HH, Maverick.
