[QUOTE="snewman, post: 1247593, member: 31036"]Guys, I've always sort of chuckled when I saw a coin described as "inverted s" because.. well.. you flip an S and what you have is an S.. Not too long ago, I was going through a full set of ANACS slabbed washington quarters at a dealer's shop and came across this 1944-S. While going coin to coin looking at mintmarks etc.. my first thought was "That S sure does look strange.. you know.. I think it is upside down!" I asked the dealer if he thought the S looked weird and he just glanced at it said "Looks like an S to me." Anyway, what do you think? I've not seen another one like it before. Anyone have a coin actually graded as an "Inverted S" by a TPG? The left side is the real coin, the right side is what you get when I rotate the S 180 degrees in photoshop. Obviously, the light/shadow is odd on the photoshopped side. Maybe I'm dreaming but doesn't the S look more natural on the right side? [ATTACH]134070.vB[/ATTACH] Thanks! snewman[/QUOTE]
