searching threw my wheaties and came across this one that ask me a question. Is my mint mark correct? I did not know the answer. I will try to find out.
So is there any way to find out what fonts were used? and are there any examples to judge by?

Here is the coin that ask me.

That one is called "Ball Serif" ball on bottom flat serif on top. Then "serif" both flat ant early is the "Ball", where both are. There are actually three types used in the forties, including a large and small S on the 41's

PS: never did see any letters on flakes in my bowl?

wow after some reading on this just realized 99% of wheaties are rdv-004.
that could be used as a marketing ploy for the unknowing that means absolutly nothing
