1942-S Inverted S Dime Mint Mark Comparison.

fcloud

I have located another 1942-S Inverted S Dime (my third one). Here is an image of three inverted S Mint Marks and a normal S for comparison. The coin on the upper right is a late stage and there is a bunch of die polishing lines. Note how the top of the S is smooth and flat inside and on the opposite is true for the normal S. Also note the notch on the inside base on the inverted S and the smooth or notch-less area on the base of the normal S. Another thing to note is the longer top of the S on the Inverted S and the normal S having a shorter top. According to the CONECA website these will be in the next Cherrypickers Guide and have been assigned FS-501.
