Looks normal to me.

 

I can't say with any certainty , but it is definitely a curious MM and perhaps worthwhile submitting for possible error verification .

 

This looks like an RPM although www.VamWorld.com do not make any direct reference to it. If my photo is correct and my eyes are not deceiving me there is a small section of the serif displayed at the top of the S to the Left as well as what appears to be a doubled line along the middle of the S. You may want to send this to the people at the webaddress listed you may have a VAM that is not listed.

 

Here's the pics from VAMworld of the S tilted right, mint marks look the same to me, only the S isn't tilted right. VAMworld - 1897-S Reverses

 

I would say a possible Rpm ,but not an inverted S

It is definitely extroverted but not inverted!:whistle:

IMO, the S is not inverted.
it does appear to have been placed onto the die at an angle.

However, check out cherrypickers for the 1909 S Barber Half Dollar inverted MM.
[which I discovered].

As you may be able to see, the easiest way to see if it is inverted is to flip the S over. [invert the coin]

If it looks 'more' normal looking at it upside down then there is a chance, a small one, but still a chance.

 

Great Group of Cointalk members!!!!

Thank for all your help folks!!!!!!

 

still that's a nice coin.

 

Hi,

To make it simple, the S has a serif on top and a "trumpet" tail on the bottom.

Normal on this coin and Not inverted.

Thanks,
Bill

 

on second photo inspection, I have to agree with foundinrolls. Nice coin though.
