New to posting in this forum, so if you think I selected the wrong page let me know.
Several literature sources indicate there are different San Francisco "S" mintmark used on the Australian coins. The mint used the Trumpet Tail "S" and Straight Serif "S" in 1942, 43, & 44 and the Ball Serif "S" in 1944. Does anyone know or have a literature source to indicate which of these types were used on the 3, 6 pence; shilling; or florin for those years (1942-44).
