    Need new 1964 D Jefferson nickel SMS prototype recognized

    Hello there. My name is Davere, Im sorry but for some reason I cannot access my images at this time. The mints employees left a record on this coin so the photo should not be necessary.. (under "IN GOD WE TRUST")It states...this is an unissued experimental test strike for the 1965 SMS. There is too much information to list here so if you can trust that I'm not making this up please send me information on how you can be contacted. I have another coin that also needs attention its a 1948 D nickel that clearly has the 1943/2 transitional error (1943 P copper nickel planchet) right there under the 1948 date. On the reverse the mint clearly marks the spot where a large P and S were located and a 48 with an arrow pointing to a large number 43 then to 42. Other information relating to the creation of the 1965 SMS coins are also on this coin such as " 3 die pairs for these ex. Strike were being used and it clearly has the SMS finish. The steps are pretty screwed for an SMS but its just a prototype. Im sure the steps were one thing this coin helped sort out. Thank you for your consideration.

      This is a environmentally damaged/toned worn nickel. this is not copper. in 48 there are no P mint marks and no large mint marks. Sorry.

        In addition, the SMS coins were not minted in Denver, SMS were minted in Philadelphia.
