Here was the seller's photo. No photo of the reverse.

Not only is it not FB (not that I was expecting it) but it's not even a philly. The mintmark does look upside down though, is that any kind of a variety, or is this a run of the mill MS65 to 66 45 S dime? The coin is nice enough with absolutely blinding luster.

    Looks to me to be AT LEAST a 65. Nice coin.

    From here, the MM appears to be repunched...

    Looks normal.

    There is an S over Horizontal S for 1945, but I don't think it is one (there is an image in my set of the 45 S/Horizontal S.

  • So, not a P, but an S and No FSB? Is that what you were hoping for?

    Just using David Lange's photos from his book, it does not look like an inverted 'S' mintmark.
