The appeal of mint mark varieties. 1945-S Merc. PCGS-MS66 Micro-S enclosed.

I have always been attracted to nice mint mark varieties. Different size variations in mint marks are intriguing. Good examples are the huge war nickels mint marks, but my favorite is the Merc Micro-S
Here is an example that I just won on Ebay. Its a nice, white blazer.

Brian,

Very nice, I like those varieties too and the dramatic date ones. I need to pick up the 42/1.

George:
Without a closeup of the mm, I would not buy it raw.

Brian,

Nice dime, looks like a fair price, too.

Just curious, since I am a fan of the Large S mintmark varieties of 1941 (and, yes, I do have a MS Merc example and, as might be expected, multiple Jeff examples), do these stir much interest or premium among Mercheads?

The minor varieties do not command as much of a premium as the long established and major ones like the 42/1, 42/1D, and the micro-s, although with the popularity of the series at an all time high, who knows what the future holds?
