Hi folks,
I hope I get this right, I never posted on a forum before. I recently found a 1946 inverted s penny and it has been certified by ANACS. I had them furnish a population report and mine was only the third one they certified.
My research on the matter, however, leads me to beleive that there are actually three varieties of the inverted S. The BJ Neff photos clearly show that there is definately a "high" and a "low" mint mark. When it comes to the "low" mint mark, I have seen both a blobby and crude mint mark and one with a finer more rounded "triangle" sarif. I just purchased one on ebay with the smooth sarif. The one I found and certified is the blobby one. I look forward to examining the two to find out and will post what I find.
I hope this helps.

First of all, it has to be PNG, JPG, or GIF. Second, it has to be under 100KB, if not, use the free image optimizer. Third, click under the text box, in New Topic, and select upload image. You can also click on the Pencil and Paper above your response to edit your post and it will take you to the same screen, just do all the steps I told you.

Like I said though, a new topic would be helpful.

Dear doubledieman,
I have no idea, nor does anyone else. That's why I am trying to help research this variety. As stated before, I believe there to be three varieties. A new arrival I have comming in might help a lot. The one I found and put in my last posting might look like coin damage in the morthern mintmark. I have recently saw one of these posted on ebay. The exagerated northern "S" was absolutely identical.
Sorry for giving you a non-answer, but there are aparently a lot of us trying to figure this one out.

Steven, if you don't follow the direction on the optimizer page your images will never last more than a couple hours.

Hello folks, I hope the photos in my last post stick this time. The purpose of this post is to discuss the possibility of theee different inverted s dies. The super close up photos are of two coins I posess. I kept the cropping and perspectives of the photos as close as possible to provide continuity.
The B J Neff photos clearly show two different dies. One has a low S and the other has a high one. Compare these chunky mint marks to the fine line ones in the second photo. The second photo shows die state deterioration in the form of a fading S and a widening ball gap. The third photo shows a heavy, chunky mint mark with a very close ball gap. I thought that the exagerrated north lobe of the S was due to coin damage. I recently saw one of these sell on ebay and it had an absolutely identical exagerated north lobe. Both my coin and the one on ebay were certified by ANACS. The fourth photo shows a late-middle die state striking according to the second photo. I find it hard to believe that the fine line S could be smashed to look like the one in photo 3. Photo 2 would conclude that the coin in photo 3 is a VERY early die state compsred to photo 4. It also looks to me like the mint mark in photo 3 is just a hsir lower and to the left from where it is in photo 4. I went looking for die markers and I believe I found one.
Photo 3 matches with photo five and photo 4 matches with photo 6. Photo 5 shows an extra "hair" on Lincolns' head that doesn't exsist in photo 6. I can only conclude that this is either a die crack or a gouge. If photo 5 is early die state relative to photo 6, How does a die blemish heal itsself unless, they were two separate dies?
