1928-S Mercury Dime Large S

Hi guys!

I picked up a 1928-S Merc for my Whitman folder today and remembered there is are Large/Small or Large/Normal S varieties. I have a hard time with distinguishing varieties based on the sizing of design elements, probably because I have few other examples to compare it to.

Does anyone know if this is the large or normal S? I think it looks like the Large S variety.

Looks like a small "s".

that is for Lincoln cents, so that won't work

Late night. What can I say.

 

With so much wear, it hard to tell.

 

I believe it is a small S due to the location in relation to the last leaf but I don’t collect varieties.

 

I don't know?? I think it looks like a Large S.

 

The wear also makes it look larger than it was when it was minted.

 

I stand by my assertion that it is the large S... Both due to the bottom serif and the proximity to the leaves.

Just my thought.
