Ya I looked at that site too and am not sure because as far as I know one isn't supposed to exist. The site says it's supposed to look like  and mine appears to be inverted of that. But because one isn't supposed to exist I question it. I also looked on copper coins 1969S-1MM-004  which looks similar to mine so I'm not sure honestly.

No expert, but I would call that an inverted.

Quote: as far as I know one isn't supposed to exist. Who said that? Mint Marks were still hand punched in 1969, and it would be a simple error to invert it.

Ya I think so  ! But one is not supposed to exist!  What should I do with it if it is an inverted mint mark and it's not supposed to exist? Like I thought 46 s was supposed to be the only one and don't know of others. Do you know of others? Like I can't find any information on 69 - s inverted mintmark. So that's why I was questioning finding a variety that I can't find documented any where. Like can anyone find it documented any were of a 1969 inverted s mint mark variety? Like I tried google searching for documentation on it and can't find anything. I also tried population report on PCGS but I don't think errors and varieties can be found on their?

Circulation damage may come into play. Look at the 6 and the second 9. Hard to tell with the white snow effect surrounding everything, including the MM.
The lower part of the MM looks normal to me, but the upper looks as if it may have been altered by circulation. Thanks, Doug.

Bad news is my gut says not inverted. Good news is my gut has been wrong more than once. The circulation wear and white stuff is making it difficult to tell for sure. Thanks, Doug.
Edit - The lower looks more like the normal ball than a trumpet end. The upper trumpet end seems to be flattened into a ball shape. Could be wrong!

I can't be too sure but my opinion-if comparing it to the coppercoins one you posted it looks like a match so I'm going to say 'not inverted' unfortunately

If you want a definitive opinion, send it to Wexler.
