<p>[QUOTE="quarter-back, post: 1692113, member: 47022"]Hate to be a buzzkill, and I would be happy to be proven wrong, but I don't think it is the inverted "S". Compare yours (especially the first picture in the second set you posted) with MMS-002 at the Variety Vista mintmark style web page. Several things suggest that your mintmark is normally oriented. First, the lower loop on your coin is larger than is the top loop. Second, on the normal orientation, the lower serif is slanted so that the bottom corner of the serif is further to the left then is the top corner of the serif. This shows up well on one of your pictures. In addition, because of the shape of the lower serif, the upper corner of the serif should be further to the right when inverted (the "upper" serif should be slanted to the right). On yours the lower corner is further to the right. Hope I'm wrong, but a few things to consider.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
