Does this look like a Type 2 1981-S proof set to you guys?

1981-S Type 2? It doesn't look like it to me. Am I wrong?

I don't think it is. As the seller says in his description " clear S ". But that does not make it a type II.

Looks like a filled S to me...Notice how he/she has set the angle

The dollar looks type II but the half may not be. The other coins are too hard
to see to make a good guess. The dollar is critical to the set but the cent also
has substantial value (~$50). There is a significant premium for the entire set.

Russ, do you need a T-2 half? I think I've got a few nice raw dcams in one of the albums.

Russ

Don,

Nope, don't need one. I just saw the auction as I was hunting for other stuff.

The 1981 Type 2 is really misnamed.People call it clear "S".It shold be called shaved "S".The top of the Mint Mark is shaved off.

Nope, that's a Type III. I know that there are two types that are recognized, but through my cherrypicking I've learned that there is a another type that is often confused for Type II. This is one of them. It looks different from a Type I but is without question not a Type II.

I had this happen to me last week also and received another set today and all 3 seem to be just a little different

1- looks like the 79 type 2

2-has a taller clearer s more rounded in the top loop

3-seems like the top of the s is flat not round

or that is how they appear to me not sure if I have the types listed correctly but I think so

It's a type 4, the type you dont want to buy--------------------------------------------BigE
