1967 Half Dollar, MS69 Ultra Cameo
Special Mint Set Issue

1967 50C SMS MS69 Ultra Cameo NGC. When silver coinage was discontinued at the end of 1964, the government also discontinued issuing proof and mint sets, and they stopped putting mintmarks on coins. Beginning in 1965, special five coin sets were issued under the new name of Special Mint Set. These special sets were issued through 1967, and regular proof sets were again produced in 1968, but now at the San Francisco Mint. While the Special Mint Set coins were substantially higher quality than regular circulation-strike coins, they were not the same quality as proof coins, and for that reason, examples are rarely seen at the top grade levels. This amazing, nearly perfect, Superb Gem has brilliant silver surfaces with extraordinary field-to-device contrast. This is the only MS69 Ultra Cameo at NGC with nothing comparable at PCGS (6/16).(Registry values: N1793)
