Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 08:58 am This is another of the odd early 40s S mint marks. There are actually 3 different mint marks that run. http://varietyvista.com/09a%20WQ%20...MMS00201.htm I came across this one recently and it is a major upgrade from my existing example. Thanks for looking! Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 10:19 am The normal MM is clearly smaller, look at the distance from the R. Also, the normal MM is more rounded. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 9:08 pm Me I agree with the MMS-002 must see the markers in order to localize the Die number. Your case could be Die 1,2,7 or 8 Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 9:30 pm Thanks everyone! It will go in my "one day" PCGS submission box! That box is filling up so hopefully send them in soon! Sil as I was looking at these I did notice one with the mint mark in a different position. I feel that the die I posted is the most common of the bunch. Edited by Willburton 02/16/2023 9:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
