I'm no expert, but this looks like the real deal. I just get the feeling in the mintmark that it is, but better pics and clear ones would help.

 

Let's bring this back to life.
Snowy day here so I was just looking at some S mint coins I have laying in the bottom of a box.
The bottom photo shows what I think is a inverted S mint mark.
do you agree or not

 

Sorry, probably not. I believe your two coins are of the "Serif" type, also called "Trumpet Tail". The Inverted Mintmark (IMM) is of the "Ball Serif" type. Here is a link to the CONECA reference page for San Francisco MM types:

And similar information grouped by date on Lincoln Cent Resource:

And finally, here is a link to the CONECA IMM reference page:

That said, it does look like the OP back in 2014 indeed had an IMM, IMO.

 

Thanks for the information.

 

not an inverted MM

 

Thank you
