<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quarter-back, post: 1926201, member: 47022&quot;]Now you have<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Collecting by mintmark style is my major focus.&nbsp; As for the OP&#039;s question, a few come to mind.&nbsp; Focusing just on cents, the 1928S with the large S carries a bit of a premium.&nbsp; Others that come to mind are the 1945 Micro-S dime (although this is losing its luster).&nbsp; The Trumpet tail S on the 1941 and 1943 quarter and and on the 1941 and 1943 dimes are quite collectable (especially on the 43&#039;s).&nbsp; The small D on the 1934 quarter is well worth looking for.&nbsp; Everyone knows about the type 1 and type 2 S&#039;s on the 1979 and 1981 dollars, but most don&#039;t realize that there also two styles of S on the 1974&#039;s (a well-kept secret, especially for Ikes).&nbsp; The also are several varieties of &quot;O&quot; mintmarks on 18th century coins that carry a bit of premium</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually find it surprising that more attention is not paid to mintmark styles. Among the cents, the ball serif S is found on well under 10% of the total mintage of the 1946&#039;s and just a bit over 10% on the on the 1944&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, if you find a 1946 dime with a sans serif S, send it to me, I&#039;ll give a nice comfortable home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
