I think I found another good coin in that mysterious $5 in dimes I received... It's a 1945s inverted mint mark... they only used 2 mint marks in 1945 on the winged Liberty dimes (ball serif & micro s) I'm fairly sure this is an upside down ball serif... what do ya'll think???

According to VV there are 3 MM styles for the 1945S Mercury Dime, MMS-004 (Trumpet Tail), MMS-006 (Ball serif w/flat spot on lower ball) and MMS-007 (Micro)... The inverted is the MMS-006 which yours could be but unfortunately due to the heavy circ wear I can't tell for sure... VV has 1 listed inverted MM for the 45S but since they are no longer considered rare VV does not track individual dies... Wexler also only lists 1... Hope that helps a bit!!!

I saw the skinny section but with the location of the skinny area highly similar to MMS-004 and the heavy circ wear it could also be a normal 004!!! Originally Posted by Dearing
