1944-S Walking Liberty Half dollar Large "S" question

coinsarefun

Just noticed that some are large S mint mark.........is there a premium? Is it a variety? Is there a small S?

Below is a blast white example of a large S and the toned one is mine
Is mine a large S?

For the evening crowd

coinkat

looks to be the same as the large S blast white example

I have no idea what the value might be or the rarity. I will say that there are interesting varieties in this series that just have not captured much interest. I suspect that will eventually change

DIMEMAN

They look the same to me.

magikbilly

Same to me too. Perhaps the toning is obfuscating things.

Eric

Edited to add - if those are in the same scale your toned example actually might look smaller! But I believe that an illusion.

Steph,
The interest in Walker varieties seems tepid to non-existent. I have started a few threads on here and elsewhere about Walker varieties and received little or no response. Like Coinkat, I wonder if that lack of interest might change someday. However, people who have been collecting and dealing in Walkers longer than me have told me not to hold my breath.
By the way, I like toned sliver of the coin you posted How about a full image?

There will eventually be interest- the series has everything going for it- the design is attractive- there are a reasonable number of high grade common dates and tough ones and even some double dies - what's not to like?

The whole Morgan VAM thing took years- actually decades to develop
to where it is today

Please don't show him the full image I'll have dry the key board again from all the drool that gets on it every time I see that one.

BTW there are two RPM's and the Inverted in the pickers guide but these two seem the same except for lighting.

Forget the large or small mintmark. That's a great looking Walker.

LindeDad

I went and got a towel before opening your post......

That sure would be nice in my birth year set but it might cost more than all the other coins in it.
