Large bead. The A needs to point between the two denticles to be a small bead variant. Yours definitely point directly at the denticle.

Here is a small bead:

 

ok i thought that was the opposite with the i being used instead of the a to point with the i pointing to the bead, and not a denticle. guess i was wrong thanks..

 

Just count the beads maggie!

 

how many beads am i looking for . as i cant find a specific number to look for online any where. thanks

 

I was kidding. That would not be easy lol.

 

no thats for sure lol. i was looking at a post on another forum site and to me this seems the same as the small bead variety pic they have there. i guess ill have to wait till other weigh in on it. thanks when in doubt wait it out. lol

 

Maggie, here is another way to look at it. If you could take one of the beads and fit it in between two beads, then it is the small variety. As you can see from your photo, those beads are much closer together. I wish it was a small bead dollar, I think there are only like 500 or so. Not sure though.

 

You use the I when determining varieties on the '53, '54 and sometimes '55
