JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 06:42 am I was looking through some of my UNC 40% silver wartime nickels and noticed that one of my 1945-S nickels had a noticeably different S mintmark. I mean, it looks the same, just inverted. I checked a few online reference sites that list IMM's but I could not find one for a 1945-S Jefferson nickel. Anybody ever hear of one? Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think...I could just be seeing things again, lol. Thanks in advance, JDRMCB Report this Post to the Staff

(The upper serif does look a little wider, like it may be an RPM but I can't see any notching.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 5:27 pm I think the Squirrel is right. Also if your upper curve is smaller than lower. That's the way it should be. Then it's not inverted/upside down. (But) that's just my opinion Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/24/2020 10:05 am @sensiblesal there can be many varieties of the same kind (e.g. RPMS, DDOs, DDRs, OMMs, RDVs, ODVs, etc.) For a given year, so databases like Wexler's, Variety Vista, coppercoins, and even the CPG have their own nomenclature for indexing them. RPM-029 is the variety vista (James Wiles) nomenclature. Report this Post to the Staff
