1946 inverted S

I believe I have found an inverted S. I can't seem to find anything more on this variety, other than whats on copper coins, and lincolncentreource.com.
does any one here know value or rarity for them? I know LCR.com says they are very rare, But I can't find any recent auctions for one of these. any help would be appreciated!

thanks! Shawn

I am sorry to say that you are looking at one of the normal serif style mintmarks used in 1946 and it is in its proper orientation.

This is a 1946 S 1MM-003...the one pictured happens to be an RPM but it is the mintmark style that you are confusing for an inverted S.

This picture is from coppercoins

I'll duck now

Thanks,
Bill

 

It's not the 003. The MM postition doesn't line up with CC Picture. It's futher east.

 

I am not sure what you mean...the picture is from Chucks site for that RPM.

 

There are no visiable MM signs that say it's the 003. The MM is slighty east with the tilt to the west.

 

Let me try to get this straight.

Are you saying that you disagree with whether or not Coppercoins has this mintmark correctly identified.

The picture I used that is a picture of an RPM is from Chuck's website labeled as 1946 S 1MM-003. So if you are saying that the picture I used is not -003, we may need to let Coppercoins know of a discrepancy.

OR. Are you saying that the original picture at the top of the post is not -003 which is something we already know? I was using the RPM picture only to illustrate one of the serif style Mintmarks used in 1946.

If you are not in disagreement with coppercoins' website than I am completely confused as this is HIS picture of -003.

Thanks,
Bill

 

Now I'm confused...Of course that's not hard to do.

 

I have yet to dissagree with what CC website has to offer whether it be MM, DDO, DDR.

I am saying that Your assesment on the coin being the 003 is incorrect. Do you see the MM pertruding North from the MM? It's not in the correct position to be the 003. Do a overlay.

 

I am sorry, but you still seem confused. The picture I posted is from coppercoins website. It is not a facsimile thereof. It is coppercoins own picture of the S on a 1946 S 1MM-003.

If you do not disagree with coppercoins picture and attribution on his website of 1946 S 1MM-003 and you agree that the picture of 1946 S 1MM-003 is correct on his website, since you say "I have yet to dissagree with what CC website has to offer whether it be MM, DDO, DDR." , then something doesn't make sense with what you are trying to say.

I used his picture of the S right from his website. It is the same picture. You can't say coppercoins is right and say that this picture is not -003.

So my assessment is based upon his picture of 1946 S 1MM-003 which is the actual picture I posted.

So...If the picture is correct, since it is coppercoins picture of 1946 S 1MM-003 then my assessment must be correct.

We are not saying that the very first post is showing any kind of RPM, so the very first picture has no bearing on this. So I am still confused by what you are attempting to say.

Thanks,
Bill

 

Bill,

I was agreeing with you that the first picture posted by Snaz wasn't the inverted MM. I also agree that the Serif's are similar to the picture on CC and it is a RPM. I am "Not" saying that the picture from CC isn't the 003. Like I said before Snaz was referring it to be a Inverted MM and it's not. I don't disagree with your references to CC and I wasn't confused with this.

 

Whoa......
I think I should go back to the beginner class

 

OK, Thanks we are on the same page now

Happy Thanksgiving,

Bill

 

Thank's Bill. The reason I say that because I have the 003. Its beat up but the MM to the North is visable.
