Special Mint Sets (SMS) from 1967 were issued by the United States Mint as a way to replace the traditional uncirculated coin sets that were not produced in 1965, 1966, and 1967 due to the transition to a new coinage system. The 1967 SMS includes coins such as the Lincoln cent (1 cent) and the Kennedy half dollar (50 cents), struck with a special finish intended to enhance their appearance. The coins were produced with a combination of methods that included a higher quality strike and are characterized by their mirror-like backgrounds and frosted designs. Collectors value these sets for their unique qualities and relative scarcity compared to standard mint issues.
