Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 03/30/2014 3:27 pm About 4 months ago I bought 2 rolls of 1955-S to fill a gap in the binders, and I noticed a mixture of mint mark sizes. I thought I saw a recent post in here of 1955-S mint mark types, but maybe not. Does anyone know of a reference or publication that shows the types AND population counts of each type of "S" used in the 1955-S coin? If it can be broken down to say, proof sets, mint sets and typical minting, at least it can provide me a good write up of the 1955-S year. I thought I read that there was THREE different "S's" for the 1955-S year ? This is the type of mint mark that's on both rolls of the 1955-S I have; Report this Post to the Staff
