fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 11:50 am The large "S" has a pronounced top serif and the lower inside curl of the "S" is angled sharply NW to SE. The small "S" has a top knob and the lower inside curl of the "S" is oriented more WNW to ESE. There are also reports of a possible "medium S," but I haven't seen any photos of what people are describing as "medium." The big question is how many different dies had the large "S" mm. IMHO, the large "S" variety is too common for just a single die. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 1:37 pm The large S is much less common, but hardly rare. I had a roll once that had 4 examples, and I still have a stack of them. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 1:45 pm I'm not sure on the interest in these if they bring a premium or not. You might check ebay to see if they are selling them? Save a search for them and they will let you know when one is listed, check back and see what it brings later and keep track for lets say 6 months worth of sales and you will have a better idea of what they are going for. You might want to check both to see how they are doing. The large and small mint marks. That would be the real test. You might want to include in your information circulated or uncirculated as well. It would be a project. But in 6 months you would know. Report this Post to the Staff
