Here is one where some people don't believe this is an inverted S. To me it is obvious.

Pick on this one, too.

    Both of these are from 1942, but the one on the right is the normal S with Serifs.

    1942 was a transition year. About half had the san serif (no serif as seen on the left), and half had the serifs (as seen on the right). The inverted S is the Serif type.

    As far as these san serif or serif go no real value change. Some my go toward the san serif, but they pretty much sell for the same price for the grades.

    Ask Wondercoin about the 1942-S Washington quarter with inverted S that I sold to him. I didn't photograph it before shipping it.

    It looks like MMS-004 on the left and MMS-005 on the Right.

    Bookmark this page on Mintmark Styles for San Francisco.

    The mintmark in the first post is inverted as well.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
