Hi everyone,
Seeking opinions on this nickel below:

1941-S-Nickel---Large-S?

To my eyes, it appears to be a large S variety 1941 Jefferson nickel.

Here is another 1941S nickel of mine for comparison, with a much smaller S mint mark:

1941-S-Nickel---Large-S?

I appreciate any opinions.

Thanks!

I agree, the first one is the more desirable large S, while the bottom one is the more common small S/ regular S.

The size of the mint mark on these images makes it pretty clear.

I always looked at the shape, but now I see the size of the mint mark is also important.
