Yes.. The one that is bigger than the other S

 

I take it they are not that rare

 

It has to be a 1941, and then it has to do with the triangular serif on the S.
I think the 1941 large S carries a premium.

Yep they are both 1941

 

Hmmm yeah I cant tell if it is or isn't.

 

Says lower then monticello window

 

What are you using for your reference?
There are some good threads on this nickel on CT by Lehigh.

 

The very first photo, the bottom serif on the S is the key.
I am not suggesting cleaning this coin, but it is obscured by (dirt?)
if that dirt were removed, perhaps you could identify the MM better
by the link I provided in my first post. Maybe put it in distilled water?
Or acetone? Then you might be able to see the serif on the bottom part of the S better.

 

I cleaned it with warm water only. Either way the width from top to bottom looks different to me on the small s. And in the first photo the s is defieltly symmetrical exactly what's stated in that information. Would you guys agree with that point?

 

Would you be able to post The link??

 

It's in my first post. Here it is again:

Oh right. What I said in my last post would you agree

 

If it has a pronounced triangle on the bottom serif, then it's a large S which is a good coin.

 

When you say a good coing does it carry a large value

 

There are all kinds of prices for this coin on EBay depending on condition.
You'll have to surf around.
