I know that in 1945 the mint used 2 different mintmark styles for the San Fransisco mint. One was the ball serif style, used in 1944, and the other was the new serif style, which uses a ball serif on the bottom and a standard serif on the top.
Well....I think that the workers at the mint were confused with all this crap and that they screwed up a few times and punched in the mintmarks upside down. Now I do not know how common or uncommon this may be, but I believe that this is a clear example of one of their screw-ups....a 1945 S-inverted mintmark. I don't think we are talking value here as I think this is a common occurance for the 1945.
Thoughts?
