I'm no expert, but they look like the same size to me. Large or small I couldn't say. The bottom coin looks to have been punched at a slight angle or double punched.

They have definitely been mint marked by different punches, but I'd say they were the same size.

The higher (on top) may look larger in pic because it is on top.

Here is a side by side of the two mint mark punches used on the nickels that year:

Thanks, Coop. That's a pretty huge difference between those two.

Right, kind of like the '28-S cent. Once you've seen them both, you never forget.
