uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 07:38 am I have to agree with fuzzy317 that it looks like a large S, but you should rotate the image to see it better Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/24/2016 5:00 pm Once you have seen it, the large S is very obvious - like on the '28-S cent. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/24/2016 6:45 pm The mint marks are hand punch and vary in locations. So location of the mint mark means nothing. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 09/24/2016 7:15 pm There is an old article out there that you can find on the internet that seemingly offers useful diagnostics. However, it is rather misleading in my opinion (or unhelpful). With respect to coops comment, the position of the mint mark is relative to the punch made and not a good diagnostic. The key to me is in the font: key on the differences between the small S and the large S. Quick-and-easy. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/25/2016 01:27 am The upper loop on the small date is the clue for me. It is flat looking. The large date is rounded upwards. Report this Post to the Staff
