Is this 1941 S Wheat a rarity?

[aztrvlr]

This is one that I picked up from an estate sale and it was noted as a large S on the flip. I've tried to find more information other than the reference in the Red Book and can't. So I was hoping someone can enlighten me!
The first 3 pics are of the coin and the last 2 are of a regular 1941 S.

Thanks!

Yes, there were two different styles of the "S" mint mark used in 1941. The large "S:, listed as CONECA MMS-04, is less common than the smaller "S" mint mark, listed as CONECA MMS-02.

Wexler stated the ratio of 1 large "S" to 9 small "S", while Lange had that ratio a bit higher 1 : 15.

That would be known as a Over Mint mark (OMM).
They existed on coins such as the Lincoln Cents 1944 D over S and the 1946 S over D.
There are a few other OMM's out there.
You'd have to check the other denominations, but the the Buffalo and Jefferson Nickel is a good place to look as well.
