There are two types of 1945-S Mercury Dimes. One has a normal S mintmark (the "S" indicates that the coin was minted in San Francisco), and the other has a micro S mintmark. The micro S is the more valuable of the two. A micro S can be best identified by comparing the size of the "S" on the 1945 dime to the size of the "S" on another year of Mercury dime. In other words, you are comparing the 1945 "S" to an "S" that is sure to be normal size.
The 1945 nicro S Mercury Dime is 90% Silver Mercury Dime that was minted in San Francisco. San Francisco used different types of punches in 1945.
