ULTRA RARE Roosevelt Dime Variety??? I was looking through the coins I bought from my Grandma's friend, and I found a 1946 S Roosevelt Dime that appears to be the Sans Serif mint mark....According to the Cherrypicker's guide, there were only two known at the time of printing!! Do you think this is indeed the variety? The first picture is my coin, the second is the Cherrypicker's guide.   09-01-2007, 04:36 PM   #2 (permalink) n_sandler4 Paul     Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Jacksonville, FL Posts: 802 Anyone?   09-01-2007, 04:39 PM   #3 (permalink) swick Senior Member   Join Date: Jan 2007 Posts: 363 Paul, I'm definitely NOT an expert, but it looks like it to me.

Maybe that variety is so rare, because nobody can even see it that small!

Let's hope so. Time to get it certified. Good job! jasn   09-01-2007, 07:32 PM   #11 (permalink) n_sandler4 Paul     Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Jacksonville, FL Posts: 802 Crap. I just got an Email from the Coneca guy.... "Circulated coins can be tricky to attribute. However, I believe this is the standard trumpet tail mintmark style.
