1919 Micro S "Mysterious $5 in winged liberty dimes"

[Dearing]

I received $5 in winged liberty dimes and found this really worn but still cool 1919 micro s winged liberty dime They were mostly 40's but had about ten 30's also. I don't have a clue where they came from or who sent them... didn't see a return address but it made my day I'm assuming that was the goal lol I get excited about anything silver or gold, no matter how little the value

Very cool. I have a couple of the Micro S Mercury dimes, but they are both 1945S. These actually have an FS (Cherry Pickers Guide) number of FS-10-1945S-512.

I didn't see it listed on PCGS, so I had to do some research to make sure it was a micro lol I finally found some info on that year tho Yup, that's where I started out wanting to find one 'til I noticed how small the one was on the 1919s and it peeked my curiosity or if I was just imagining it lol

Yup, it really caught me off guard, in a good way...I may have to do something like that one day, I wonder if it had something to do with all the coins that dealers were releasing, in June was it... and just randomly picked me when I ordered something?

Nice... I can't find any info for the micro S on the 1919S??? The only MMS I have found for the 1919S 10c was VVs MMS-002 (Small)... PCGS has some really nice looking ones on their site and now I must soak up all the drool from my computer

I'll see if I can go back and find where I found that from lol I should have put a link I can barely remember what I did today lol

I couldn't for my life find where I found that the other night but I posting some pics for you to compare and see if I'm seeing right lol sometimes I don't trust these eyes, I might be wrong, again lol... If it is tho, maybe I have one of a kind

I'm with you Jim LOL

I don't know of a 1919 micro S. The one called micro S is only on 1945-S dimes.

1917 has a smaller MMS-001 and the slightly bigger MMS-002.
1918 and 1919 only have the slightly bigger MMS-002.

Finding anything else would be a new discovery like if you found MMS-001 on a 1919-S.
(it's not a huge difference and would be hard to see, not as extreme as the 45-S and micro S)

So, trying to solve this.
When you decided it is small/micro what were you comparing it to? Was it a later date S mint?
If that's the case then it's normal, the later dates are much bigger except the 45-S micro.
And with anything, a stronger punch will look bigger, a polished one will look smaller.

So either it's normal or a new discover piece.
