<p>[QUOTE="Pick-a-nik, post: 618189, member: 16879"]Hello, I've attached some scans; sorry for the quality but it's the best my scanner does. The first picture shows a typical s mint mark (I believe this one is a 18-s), the second is the 19-s inverted s mint mark, and the third is the same only with coin upsidedown showing s looking normal upsidedown). I remember seeing another inverted s mint mark advertised on Ebay sometime ago , as I remember it was a 25-s. I have no doubt about my 1919-s, it is quite obvious especially when viewed under loope, clearer than scan shows. It is much like the 1928-s inverted s on standing quarters and 1941-s on jefferson nickels, both of which are listed in various books, I posted the buffalo because I'd never seen inverted mint marks listed or mentioned in any literature for buffalo nickels. Hope the scans show enough detail to allow people to tell what I'm talking about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
