Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 1:21 pm I believe that is normal for that year. Now, if you can find that same mintmark on a '46, I think you'll have something special. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/01/2010 4:35 pm Depends on how you look at it. It is upside down...problem is, all of them are that way. The ball was supposed to be on the bottom and the cut-off part on the top - but the die shop punched them all in upside down. Only known exception is 1946S - for which there is one known die where the mintmark was punched right side up. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/01/2010 5:56 pm I guess the guys at the mint weren't well studied on fonts...but when a similar font is used in typography, the larger serif is always on the bottom. Report this Post to the Staff
