One50 Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 11:58 pm Trying to figure this out in a real world application. When I'm at a coin shop looking at 1941 S LWC, I have a hard time telling if it's small or Large S MM. After looking at piles of the same coin for a while, my eyes and brain turn to mush. So here I have 2 1941 LWC from SanFran. Do they have different size mint marks? Would one be considered the large MM and the other one considered small MM? Thanks for your 2 cents...
