Message:: [QUOTE="BadThad, post: 531624, member: 17261"]I'd like to take this up in a separate thread. I posted my large and small on a well-known Lincoln forum and was told both of mine are small S. However, I beg to differ with that opinion as nobody on that site had apparently ever seen a BU large S. From the pictures and in-hand, you can clearly see the S is MUCH larger! It doesn't have the broadened and fat looking S of the coin you posted, but it's obviously much larger than the coin I have that is a small S BU. How about starting a 1928-S large and small thread. I'd like to hear others opinions on the matter! Does anyone have a BU large S for us to look at? Mine is the ONLY example I can find. It's complicated by the lameness of ALL the TPG's who never differentiate the large and small on their slabs. I've discussed this with Chuck Daughtrey, he's a huge fan of the 28-S large dates too. Based on his and others obversvations, only about 1 in 30 or 40 1928's are large date, perhaps less. With a total mintage of 17,266,000, this puts the large mintage at about 431,650.....LESS THAN THE 1909-S VDB! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
