Found this in circulation. The rest of the coin is, sadly, very damaged. Here's the best I can do for a closeup of the mintmark. Looking at pics of regular and inverted mintmarks for this coin... well, my coin doesn't look like either of them. I was just wondering what others thought. I'm thinking it's probably a regular mintmark, but I just can't tell. Report this Post to the Staff

intbal New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/23/2011 02:01 am Thank you for the reply. In person, my coin still doesn't look like the images of the regular mintmark to me. Doesn't look like the inverted one, either. Maybe I'll get a video microscope for Christmas Report this Post to the Staff

The inverted mintmark is on a ball serif style mintmark, and yours is a large serif mintmark. There are three styles for 1946. May I suggest a book in addition to the microscope. Learning a bit more about what you're looking for is more important than being able to take better images of that which you know less. Report this Post to the Staff
