lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 11/25/2023 5:36 pm Not sure if this is common or not. Variety Vista does not show a trumpet tail for the 1945S in the mint mark styles list. http://varietyvista.com/06%20Mercur...20Styles.htm Anyone familiar with this one? Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 11/25/2023 6:38 pm Well, that is certainly interesting! The trumpet tail mint mark was definitely in use for 1945 on cents and quarters. Nickels were still on the giant War Nickel mark. I found these similar mint marks on the PCGS mint state listings: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/35932534 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/43577857 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/37568628 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/83806260 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/43531722 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/42214883 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/28167929 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/26959450 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/26616720 Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 11/25/2023 7:18 pm Thanks Brandmeister, apparently common. Not sure why it isn't shown on variety vista for this date. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 11/25/2023 8:11 pm There was a lot of mint mark confusion at San Francisco around WWII, and again from 1951-1953. There are a few oddities that I've noticed looking at PCGS listings that seem to contradict the Variety Vista pages, but those are few and far between (and could also be rookie errors on my part).
