    You are correct, Sir. They "whiffed"! I'll post some pics in a minute.


    Here's one from JHF also, I believe.

    Dear Mr. Filam:

    The bad new is that you're right. It's definitely a small S.

    If you can return it, do so.

    But ... The 1918-S, small S, is a surprisingly difficult coin to get in MS 63. I'd try to knock the price down by a half to two-thirds and then scarf it up. Otherwise, I think you're going to have a long wait until you see another one.

    To put this into price context, 3 years ago, I bought a 1918-S, small S, in MS63RB for 400. And I think it's value has to have at least doubled since then.

    Warm regards,
