1969 S LMC IMM

Just found this inverted ball S serif with the ball on the bottom. Kinda cool because I haven't found any listings for it yet!

Looks like the top of the S took a hit.
Maybe someone else will chime in.

 

@paddyman98 I'm going to have to agree with you there it doesn't look its a little flat on top. Other than that it looks like it's inverted IMO.

 

I was just looking at several images over on Coinfacts. The ball at the bottom of the S is normal.

 

Wexler has the opposite, the normal S has the ball at the top

I also think it took a hit.
Here is a proof that the lower S looks the same.

 

These are the images I was comparing to from Wexlers IMM list of the 1946 S . They look very close to the pics of my 69 S aside from the top of mine having take a hit and flattened out. Normal↑↑↑↑↑-----Inverted↓↓↓↓↓ https://doubleddie.com/1655200.html

 

You have a point on the inverted S but I would call the adjuster on that hit though . LOL
Whats that called " Hit and run " ?

 

The mm style for 69 is what is called a Tall MM or MMS-008

I still see nothing wrong with your MM except some damage as Paddyman pointed out.

 

Top S .. to me, I don't see a hit.. believe minted that way

 

Paddy Man's opinion looks correct to me also. Top of S looks flat like it took a hit.
