Different sizes or styles of mint marks? Do you have something to share an image of? I am far from an expert, but one variety I know of is the 1908-S/S 1C RPM FS-501 S-1. Perhaps @EagleEye has some enlightenment.

I'm looking at two different styles on each so far, I cannot image them correctly with my camera. I am trying to determine if I have a couple "added" mint marks on each. I know what an added mint mark looks like, the ones I have seen are pretty obviously bad. If an expert can tell me that there was only one punch used, then I have my answer.
Well, there you have it! Excellent resource. btw true story. I was at a coin shop years ago and cherry picking F-VF IHC out of a 5 gal. dealers bucket to fill out a IHC coin album. Days later I flipped over a 1909 and it was a S. Next time at the dealers shop I told the owner. He smiled and said he needs to check them better be fore they go to the junk pile. Keep it.
