Message:: [QUOTE="Insider, post: 2472789, member: 24314"]OK, a picture is supposed to be better than words.  Unfortunately, for whatever the reason - not here.  I did not wish to spoon feed anyone in this thread.  I felt that if some here would try the exercise I suggested (which I learned to be very useful in a class setting) they would get more out of it and LEARN something by finding the answer for themselves. So this is a description of the two mint marks for the "blind" collector does not have the obviously different photos to compare.  He also is not able to "see" the size or location of the mint mint marks: 1. Large "S"  - This "S" has large, wide, openings in the space where the tips of the serifs touch the inner body of the "S".  The ends of each serif are large and "squared-off" helping to make the "S" look like a closed rectangle. 2. Small "S" - This "S" is rounded and condensed with small openings in the loops.  The ends of the serifs bend in slightly with the bottom serif poking slightly out of vertical alignment with the body of the "S".
