So I've been sitting here looking at these pictures of the "inverted S" MM, but when I look at my 1946-S and what appears to me to be an inverted S (when compared to the version of non-inverted S mint mark that the original founder of this error chose to use as their comparison, something doesn't seem to add up, but I can't figure it out. It almost looks as though MY coins mint mark, more closely resembles the "correctly punched" S mint mark compared to the actual "original" inverted S mint mark as the tail on that S is... well much "Fatter" than what my coin and the correctly minted coin show. But then I look again, and my S MM very closely begins to have resembling features to the S MM of the first inverted S discovered. Then I start the process of comparing the S's over again, and so on... thus I have decided to just throw it up here and get the opinions of those who are much more experienced at this stuff than I am, but I'd say I'm gonna say I feel that I have at least a 50/50 chance of getting this one right this time...

So in the 3 way comparison picture of S MM's, the left picture is that of the "original 1946-S inverted MM" that has been turned 180 to show it in its "non-inverted form", the picture in the middle is of MY 1946-S that is ALSO flipped 180 just like the first one, and the 3rd and final S on the RIGHT is that of our normal and error free standard issue 1946-S (one of the 3 different varieties used that year, which may be contributing to my confusion on whether or not I have what I think I have, or if its not that at all but just normal! Any input is much appreciated as always! Thanks!
