It's the standard MMS-006 ball serif. Normal orientation.

 

I agree. If it were inverted, that thin part at the top would be at the bottom.

 

Hi there, I am quite new to collecting and forum's, and with regards to coinhawks inverted S, it was only the other day I also looked at the Wexler's site which made me dig out this coin. I also have the same question really, would you guy's mind giving me your opinion on whether tjis is inverted or not?

 

Accidentally added pic twice.

 

Loopytoad, yours looks like the inverted S to me. You might want to wait on jallengomez or coop or someone else a little more experienced than myself, but unless that's a ding on the bottom, it looks correct.

 

Ok, thanks for responding, apologies for the pic,dont know if this is better.

 

I think there is a ding/scrape there. If you look upward from the bottom of the mm to the 1 o'clock direction, you can see some scrape that get the right extension of the 4 and the body of the 6 with flattening of the flow lines in between.

 

Oh yes, I can see it,crazy how the eye can sometimes miss what's staring you in the face..I think my eye's are playing tricks because I keep seeing what looks like at least one other 'S' mark to the right of the main mark.Thank you for your replies and apologies to coinhawk for jumping in on his forum.I still am learning how forums work.[emoji87]

 

I agree with Jay. This appears to be the inverted "S". The placement is correct and the mint mark is correct. Nice find.

 

Much appreciated guys.Thank you.
