I'm sorry if I'm wasting your time guys, but when I was looking through my wheaties for varieties, I began with the 41 and 41S, and I had to stop with these two 41S's I have, because something doesn't look right between the two. Do I have a large S and small S? If so, what is the collector value difference? I was not aware of this variety until I noticed these two:


Supposed Large Date?
Is-This-A-Large-S-/-Small-S-Pair?--1941-S-Wheatie

Normal Date?
Is-This-A-Large-S-/-Small-S-Pair?--1941-S-Wheatie

I would have looked for more, but these are the only 41S that I have located at the moment. I figure since I believe these two are different, that this would be enough.

Not wasting time at all You are correct, you have a Large and Small mintmark. The key differences besides size are small blocky serifs on the Small while the Large has sharp triangular serifs. The value difference between the two is negligible but the Large S is the scarcer of the two. 1928 also has a Large and Small S mintmark with the Large S being the tougher of the two as well.

1946-S had three different fonts used for the mint mark.
