I found this 1946 S LWC that looks like it has an inverted mint mark, would this be the case? Thanks in advance. The penny is lower grade and worn down so getting a clear photo of it was difficult.

It looks like a normal mint mark with damage to the right of the upper serif.

Appears to be a trumpet tail mint mark. the inverted mint mark is a ball serif

Check to see if it matches the location on the first image on this set?

It might be one of these. But it seems like the thickness of the mintmark is not the same? Maybe the die went through a polishing issue? (that could thin the mintmark)

Side by Sides with the attributed item:

Not a match.
