I picked this up Sunday and I was wondering if this was the large MM. I have nothing to compare it to except what I see in the CherryPickers' Guide.

A little better pic of the MM would help. But what I can see I think it is a Small MM.

When looking at the Small S you find that the S is notched just before the serifs, both top and bottom. If you don't find the notches than it is a Large S

Thanks papatony

Here's another, and maybe better, look at the MM.

Thanks for the link. Even though it was about a different coin it was helpful. The photos in the CherryPickers' Guide were not as helpful. There is one with the large S and the other looks like a splat that used to be an S. Since mine didn't look like that splat I thought maybe I had the large S.


There is a bit of toning and/or dirt around the MM and taking another look at that enlarged photo -- I see it isn't much better than the first one. (sigh)

I will try again to get a better photo soon.

Again, thanks for taking the time to look and help.

I think I will have to find some time to look at it again with the microscope because the coin has normal circulation damage and of course that includes the MM.
