<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 3856453, member: 106826"]I'm not real sure on the history only that they changed the mintmark at some point in the year to the small S. At 10M, that would be about 3 months production. At 3M, that would be about a month's production. Given the 10x value, the 3M figure seems more likely. I've found plenty of small S variety, but only around 12 Large S variety. No matter the condition, it get's the bump. And it's an easy one to spot in a worn state (once you have the font down). To be honest, I don't use the window diagnostic as I've found identification through the font to be quickest and the alignment rule doesn't always apply. There are at least 3 Large S mintmark placements, so they tend to be wherever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
