Edited to show my goof... Hope someone else can learn from this too. Next time I'll consult with more exprienced folks before I spout off. Well, it was exciting anyway!

Are you going to see if they have any more? If they came out of a 5 pack box chances are there is !!!!!!!!!!-----BigE

ursabear

MOST DEFINITELY! They're great folks anyway. I can't tell who they are just yet... Telll ya later.

Russ

You suck.

Congratulations!

I'm not an expert on this stuff, but isn't it really rare to get a complete set? Is it worth a big premium over a raw T2 proof set? If not, it sounds like a great "hold"!

show me a pic of the slabbed SBA t2...


1 of the hardest coins to attribute IMHO

ursabear

Thanks all, and yes, Russ, for once, I do. (My unopened '64s have yielded nothing yet.)

A complete set of 6 clear s 1981s is a major find and are very expensive.

When you wish upon a star...

A couple of weeks ago I some how snagged a 1981 type 2 for $101 on ebay and the day after I recieved it, I took it to a show and sold it for $250 and a really nice toned american eagle.

I've added pictures in the top post at macro, the images are about 8-12K each. Sorry if they're big.

If anyone wants the high res images for fun, or wants me to shoot the other four coins for comparison, I'd love to.

I hate these, your type 2s look like type 1s to me.

Iwog

You're using a 1979 coin for your type I examples, and a 1981 type I for your type II examples. What's confusing is that a 1979 Type II is identical to a 1981 Type I. None of your pictures show a 1981-S Type II.

Here is a 1981-S type II SBA.

pontiacinf

like i said, hardest to attribute and ive seen many mis-attribute

hope the bear has the real thing.

i think he deserves it

pontiacinf

and another thing

this is why i dont buy type 2 sets on eBay..

most cant tell the difference.

ursabear

Oh well. I guess I do suck...

MadMarty

Got this from Leo, I hope it helps...
Here are the 79-S and 81-S mint-marks.
They are from top left to right;
79-S T1, 79-S T1, 79-S T2
81-S T1, 81-S T2, 81-S T2
The last two big blowups show the T2 S over the T1 S. That was probably
the mints way to improve the MM

ursabear

TTT to help others learn!

I guess this means that Bears Type 2 fast--------------BigE
