Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 02/15/2024 6:40 pm Placement and shape look good. Variety Vista doesn't list the 1942-S 10c IMM at all. Wexler's cryptically says that markers will vary by working dies, suggesting that there are more than one. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...01-fb/511114 A caution: the first coin on PCGS looks like a trumpet tail mint mark that is correctly oriented. Not sure why their catalog has that mistake. Report this Post to the Staff
HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 08:51 am Thank you! Yes, that PCGS example with the red toned nose does look like a TT mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 11:06 am There are apparently only six graded PCGS examples (edit: with full bands). Oddly, if you go to the Images catalog, that first incorrect coin doesn't appear, just the two correct secondary examples. Just wanted to be clear on the edit. There are about 40 PCGS graded examples of the 1942-S 10c IMM FS-501 across all grades. There are only six with full bands, and two TrueView pictures with full bands. Those are, of course, the best reference pictures because they are high mint state coins. Edited by Brandmeister 02/16/2024 11:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
