I recently found a 1941 S Jeffereson in pocket change. Red Book says there are "Large Mintmark" and "Small Mintmark" varieties, but since I have no other 1941s to compare it to, how do I tell which I have?
The Small S will look like the S mintmark found on a pre-1941 nickel while the Large S will look like the S mintmark found on a post-1941 non-war nickel. The Small S will also have small openings with rounded blocky serifs while the large S will have large openings with sharp triangular serifs.
