Roosevelts from 1955 Mint Set

SkyManSkyMan Posts: 9,493 ✭✭✭✭✭
Here are some Roosevelts from the 1955 Mint Set I got last summer. IMO the D mint and the S mint Roosies for the most part were mehh kind of coins so they are not shown. However I have included the reverses from the two S mints as it appears the mintmarks are different. I am not a variety kind of a person, could someone that knows about varieties please tell me about these? The images are by Bob Campbell and I think he did an excellent job.

    My 1955 S Roosevelts are different also, perhaps not a big deal. Sorry for the blurry pics, but rushing somewhat as I was fixing to leave.

    Those appear to be 2 different style minmarks. One is a Ball tail and the other is a Trumpet tail.

    Jesbroken - Your first one appears to have repunching, but can't really tell from the pic.

    .

    2 trumpets aka serif S. perhaps a tall S. same style though.



    we could call 1 of them blob trumpet due to die chips inside the mm. image

    Certainly different S mint marks... distinctly different. Cheers, RickO
