I have been studying the large S and small s characteristics and I am leaning pretty heavily towards large S. Need some help deciding please and if it is a large S what would you estimate it is worth and would it be best to have it graded?

Thank you so much,

I can try. The S is really difficult to make out in person too. But I will see what I can do.

I believe you have the small S, check out the picture above for comparison.

This is the common small S. It's easily distinguishable by the serifs, which extend below and above either end of the S.

I think the window is making me confused. I don't have a great window definition left, but I feel like the s goes under the window. but I can see the tail if my s is most like the small s.

Thank you for your help!

Is this just a 1941 thing for Jefferson nickels or are there other years with similar issues?

Different mintmarks were used on different years. Some coins as many a three different mintmarks were used those years. To look these you, check V.V for the years.

Note on the menu on the left.

Note the two selections? This where you can view the Design and Mintmark varieties. They are in the first listing of each denomination on Variety Vista.
