Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 08/28/2019 8:36 pm Multiple different mintmark styles were used on the Mercury dimes in the 1940s. Here's a list: http://www.varietyvista.com/06%20Me...20Styles.htm First pic top, second pic top and bottom right like MMS-002 (Small S) First pic bottom left looks like MMS-006 (Ball Serif) First pic bottom right and second pic bottom left looks like MMS-005 (Straight Serifs) The rare ones are the 1928 Large S, 1941 Trumpet Tail S, 1943 Trumpet Tail S, the 1945 Ball Serif S (especially the inverted one), and the 1945 Micro S.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 08:14 am It is apparent that as time goes by, numerous things are found in this series all the time. A book on Mercury dimes written some time ago is now very outdated due to so many small variations being found all the time. Yes there are many different mint marks on those dimes and so far not to much has been done to valuate them. Report this Post to the Staff
