1946-S Lincoln- Ball Serif Mint Mark?

Would anyone be so kind as to either post pictures of the 3 different mint mark styles... or direct me to a sire where I can see them?

Thanks

Beautiful coin even without the serif bonus. Now I know about those. Supposedly, knowledge is power (!) but a little knowledge is a dangerous and not very profitable thing.

That's the regular 'large' or 'serif' mintmark. The most common one.

Thanks, CC!

Chuck, please help me understand. I have been looking at all of my 1944,45,46 Wheat S-mints. The 1946 "gettingbrowned" posted you call the regular "large or serif" mint mark style. The website florida posted to Coneca shows three styles for 1946. They are by their number and definition MMS (mint mark style) 004 or Trumpet Tail Style, MMS-06 or Ball Serif and MMS-007 or San Serif. The one they call Straight Serif or MMS-005 was only for yrs 1943 and 44.

Please meld their terminology with your description. Is their Trumpet Tail the "large or serif" mint mark you use to describe gettingbrowned's coin? For the life of me I cannot figure out what makes his coin one or the other. One thing for certain, with normal wear and damage for these years the mint mark is pretty much indiscernible. Mine are driving me to drink.

Thx, Jim

Ok, I am at the limits of my old camera, hopefully the lighting is not too bad

Jedichef - That's the large S, serif S mintmark...there are only three for 1946S...

Large S or serif S is the one you have in your post.
Sans serif is not shown in this thread, but it has no serifs at all.
Ball serif is the one Biokemist has.

And Biokemist - if the last picture you posted is the same coin as in the first post, the mintmark is right side up. The ball is supposed to be on the top and the triangle at the bottom.

Thx, 909, gret pics. Then by process of elimination, the large S or serif S mint mark is the one Coneca calls Trumpet Tails. Really appreciate the help.
