stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 07:33 am was looking through my photobucket account this morning and forgot that I photographed this. I will have to raid through the safe and see if I can find it. I was wondering if anyone else sees an upside down mint mark on this 1945 S Mercury dime ?

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5829 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 10:38 am Its a regular knot tail 'S', but has wear on the punch. Look at this one selling on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...360355865705 Here's a better example, notice the sharp mint mark without wear, the bottom serif is slightly narrow than the curve on the top portion of the S. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...280735678127 Edited by macmercury 09/11/2011 10:44 am Report this Post to the Staff

See the pics of my inverted s dime on ebay. 271502693838Notice See the pinched area in the upper loop of the normal coin. Also notice the flat spot on the lower ball on the normal coin. I have two of these for sale on ebay. Looking at all offers. The coin in your photo shows a mint mark in normal orientation however, the size difference not usually seen on this coin I believe could be from a slightly tilted punch. What do you think?

Davelovesdimes New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 09/03/2014 1:53 pm Good Day! I had three new listings added to the WEXLER files for Inverted mint marks on the 1945 s Mercury dime. Please go to doubleddie.com to find the listings and photos under Mercury dime IMM's. I am sending them to ANACS soon. I wonder if these are the first 45 s dimes to carry the Inverted MM designation on the holders. Does anybody have a clue? Report this Post to the Staff
