I was reading sent to me by my friend KBBPLL. It talked about the different Serifs use especially in t he.. 40's and the Inverted mint mark. Didn't know if this was inverted ball type Serif S. Sounds like I might know what Im talking about but believe me, I dont!
Right MM, just not inverted. http://varietyvista.com/06 Mercury Dime/San Francisco Mintmark Styles.htm
