Is there any way to tell a '67 half from a special mint set from a business strike '67? I found one yesterday that I thought was proof when I saw the reverse. I guess it might be an SMS but I don't know how to tell. I don't think there's any difference but thought I'd ask around. Also found a nice Franklin, my first in a while. Thanks.

If you sell them no difference in the coin dealers perspective.

The rim is wider and the edge is sharper. The surface is shiner (but the polished ones are also very shinny). If you come across one, you should immediately notice the difference. If you have doubt, then it usually is a polished one.
