Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6616 Posts	Posted 12/26/2023 10:02 am Ball Serif S mint mark. Ordinary, except for that top spot where it was grease filled or took a circulation hit. The ball serif is an odd mark that was only used for a few years. Unlike most of the others, it looks sensible when turned upside down. Report this Post to the Staff

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 12/26/2023 12:19 pm It's common for the area between the ball serif and body of the MM to be weak or missing. Seems like the punch was weak there. Die work to flatten the field after a clash or whatever will often remove that area, and die wear often obliterates it as well.

JC Stevens Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 11:33 am There are many examples of 1945S and 1946S LWC at were punched with a broken Mint Mark Punch. In the "Official Price Guide to MINT ERRORS" Alan Herbert classified them as II-C-10 Broken Mintmark Punch. See Page 131. This coin is one of them.
