<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 3632322, member: 28550&quot;]I recently picked up a roll of Mercury dimes and have been digging through it armed with the Cherry Picker&#039;s guidebook. I&#039;m scratching my head on the S mintmark varieties of 1945 though. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think one could be a &quot;micro-S&quot;, but, if so, this is a rather misleading variety name. The size is quite similar and only the placement seems to be remarkable (down and to the right from other mint marks). The guidebook says the s should be significantly smaller than the normal s punches... but then shows a picture of the regular that looks to be the same size as the micro. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 3rd S looks almost like a &quot;g&quot; due to near closure of the top right loop. Is this just a result of wear, or is it a known variety?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
