Description: Here we offer a 1965 Lincoln One Cent Coin from a Special Mint Set. It was minted at the Philadelphia and the SanFrancisco Mint. Special Mint Sets were issued as partial substitutes for Proof Sets during the first 3 years of the transition from silver to clad coinage. SMS coins were of higher quality than regular circulation coins but were not polished and specially struck like Proofs. Officially the Mint said they wanted to free up coin presses to help meet the demand for clad coins as silver was withdrawn, but there was suspicion that they did not have the technology to strike proofs in clad metal because it's much harder than silver. 1965 SMS 1C MS Lincoln Cents, Memorial Reverse Mint: San Francisco Mintage: 2,360,000 Obverse Designer: Victor D.
