[QUOTE="imrich, post: 1599413, member: 22331"][b]A Definitive Difference!![/b] Thank you for your last post. Although the standard and Micro S are extremely different in design and size, the difference is difficult to view in a photo unless the optics, magnification, lighting, positioning, et al are optimum for this unique design. You said something that is generally unique to the 2 different style S, that I'd forgotten, "All of the [COLOR=#ff0000]mint mark[/COLOR]s are in the same [COLOR=#ff0000]location[/COLOR].". The 2 different mint mark designs are located in unique locations relative to the last leaf on the branch. The large S is almost touching the leaf, where the Micro S is an appreciable distance from the leaf, as shown with Red arrows in my originally posted image. These different positions are clearly visible with the eye, and obvious in your photo which doesn't clearly allow the S features examination. You're correct that attributions/strike/die-wear could easily determine the termination features of the S top loop. Thanks again for the observation which I'd overlooked, that more clearly defines the mint-mark. :thumb:[/QUOTE]
