Wow, this is hard. I'm going to guess the cent. It's probably not right, but oh well.

Well, according to the Red Book, the S punch on the 1945-S "Micro S" dime was originally intended for Philippine coins minted between 1907 and 1920.

I'm gonna say this is a trick question. It was created for the Winged Liberty dime, for 1945 only.
