What is the diagnostic to look for to identify the 1914 Large S One Centavo variety? I've seen and compared Bill's PCGS certified coin, and I can detect no difference in the size of the mintmark. Am I missing something? | |

Hello IloiloKano, I like to fancy myself a variety aficianado, however, I have never found an "actual" 1914-S Large 'S'. PCGS quit attributing this variety a while back. I did some comparison between Bill's 1914-S Regular S and Large S and here is what I see. 1) The 'S' is basically the same size, however, the Large 'S' looks to be higher. 2) The date numbers look to be taller in the Large S variety. 3) The 4 of 1914 looks to be wider in the Large S variety. I have posted a side-by-side pic of Bill's coins for your comparison. I personally don't believe there is an actual Large S variety of the 1914, but then again, this is the only example I have ever studied.
