Hey everyone

Two Jefferson here. First one I believe is a Inverted Mint Mark. The second Jefferson is possibly a Double mint mark

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    There are large and small MM varieties of the 41-S nickel. I believe that's more likely what you have. I think the first one is the large date...but I may be mistaken.

    IMHO the doubling on the 2nd coin is mechanical doubling.

    I agree the second on is most likely Machine Doubling

    I understand what you are saying about the large and small mint mark. That being said I still believe the smaller serif is still on the bottom. This would not be there even with a large or small mint mark. IMHO

    The mintmark used for the 1941-S was unique and had a triangular bottom serif which would appear smaller than the top serif if worn. Here are photos of a small S, 41-S Large S, and a post 1941 large S.

    Your first coin is definitely a small S and by the looks of it, it could be inverted. However, I am by no means an expert on mintmarks and would wait for someone with more experience on the subject to chime in. The second coins looks like a worn 1941-S Large S with machine doubling to me.

    The first coin looks to be normal orientation. You could check VarietyVista.com. They have a section on mintmark styles.

    The second coin looks to machine doubling.

    No large S's, not RPM, but #3 not 1 appears to be the IMM variety.

    I am sorry I was not trying to confuse anyone. I was just trying to provide an alternate angle and view for the second Jefferson. The second Jefferson is indeed machine doubling. The IMM Jefferson is this one

    Oh, you flipped the image, so it was indeed inverted, LOL. No it is not the INV M M
