Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 10:45 am Glad I caught this. Looking through my 15 pounds of wheats the other day, I found a penny that I SWORE had an upside down S, but threw it back in the pile having never heard of it... and it is a bag of AU/MS wheats from the 40s my great grandad saved. I've got to go through them again to look for extra thickness and DDRs. I'm not good enough yet to be able to identify either, so I'm waiting until I get a microscope and more experience. I'll keep an eye out on the inverted MM. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 12:35 pm Thanks Thad! Looks to be VF+ range. If it's a normal ball serif, then oh well. I hope it's inverted :-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 12:31 am I don't think it is. It has to have that little "cut" separating the triangle and rest of mm on the bottom of the S. Top on non inverted mm. swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 02/08/2011 12:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
