<p>[QUOTE="Dave Bowman, post: 1940318, member: 71365"][ATTACH=full]336272[/ATTACH] It is certainly the "knob Tail" (termed as such by David Lang in his book on Mercury dimes and also called the "ball serif with flat spot on lower ball" by CONECA) MM in the correct orientation. As noted by Quarter-back, the tear drop shape at the top and the ball shape with flat spot is on the bottom. The "trumpet tail" MM has a different design altogether including a point on the top serif making it very easily identifiable. I agree with Larry that it shouldn't require an expert to see this one. Also interesting to note, and I may be the first one to publicly mention this theory...the 45 s RPM #2 dime is actually an IMM with RPM! Rpm #4 looks suspicious as well for being IMM. Look at the photos at CONECAs websight of the 45 s rpm dimes. Tell me what you all think!</p><p>Above is a photo of my 45 s IMM PCGS MS65FB Unattributed Dime. See the flat spot on the end of the ball serif AT THE TOP? It should be at the bottom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
