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...

Instead of looking only at the size of the MM also look to see if it has a ball serif. If it has the ball serif it is a LD.

Just wondering if one more desirable/collectible than the other since there were equal amounts produced?

Thanks

Just one more very minor difference people notice. Not a real lot of money involved though.
