1945-S Mercury question

Back in the day when I was much more actively collecting, I annotated a couple die varieties of this coin as "Micro-S".

Does this variety hold any special attention or valuation these days?

Thanks in advance.

In XF to Mint State grades, definitely. In the lower grades, they are worth a slight premium. They are listed in most all of the price guides.

 

Yeah, this one is heavily circulated. I might have a couple others I need to chase down.

I tried a few times to find ones in the wild, but, bad pictures hampered that effort. The Micro S is a known listed Redbook variety. Some premium.

 

I have 1 in my Dansco album but I have no photos of it.

 

I believe they do have a premium. I paid about $12 for this one. AU or MS. I know hard to tell from photos.
