Is this a 1903-s micro 's'??

bored on a sunday morning and scanning the 'bay

came across this PCGS attributed 'micro s'

pcgs micro 's'??

for comparison check out this pci graded one:

a tiny mintmark, huh?

or this raw one (click on larger pics):

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180160193474&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008

specifically i'm looking at the position of the top of the mm in relation to the ribbon and the bottom of the mm in relation to the DO in DOLLAR.....also interesting to note is the mm size in relation to the ribbon's knot

i also have seen other 03-s that have a larger mintmark than even the first morgan i linked in this thread.....does that mean there are maybe 3 different sizes?? large, small and micro perhaps

like i said, i was bored today

    The first one is definitely a micro-s.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    thanks for your response.....i respect you as a lifelong numismatist julian so your answers will get no debate from me

    just wondering if you see what i'm seeing on the other two (pci and raw)...that being, the mm is even smaller than on the deemed micro s

    thanks

    The raw one appears to be a micro-S to me. Congrats on the fantastic cherry pick.

    I had to have one of these myself, even if it is a low grade image

    I cherrypicked one of these too...But it is in pretty bad condition....probably AG..and it's cleaned...

    I defer to the experts on this one. The only thing I was wondering about is the oval discolored area around the MM. Any thoughts about it. Just toning or maybe added MM?
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    Should have added the one I'm talking about is this Micro S
