<p>[QUOTE="Revello, post: 7606373, member: 103898"]Hoping that you knowledgeable folks can help me decide whether this 1942-S Merc dime has an inverted "S" mint mark. I've read some of the older postings on CoinTalk on this, but even after reading them, I'm not sure I understood the serif vs non-serif distinction in gauging whether the mint mark is an inverted "S". Photos below. Dummy me sent the coin in to NGC, who, of course, wouldn't give a variety attribution for it because NGC only recognizes DDO, DDR, RPM, RPD, or MPD varieties (they at least graded it as MS-65). I should have sent it to PCGS or ANACS, and may do so, if I think it is an inverted "S" based on feedback from you all. Thanks very much in advance for your guidance and postings.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1309581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1309581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1309583[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
