Picked up some 1981 Proof sets, are they T1s or T2s??

Number 1 - 7 are the SBAs, I really like #4, looks like a RPM. Number 8 is the Kennedy and all 7 sets are the same, and number 9 in the Lincoln, all 7 sets are the same. Type 1s or Type 2s?

It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • #8 -- is the clear Type II

    #4, #5, #6 -- are what I call Type IIIs -- they have characteristics of both I and II. Though, try submitting them they might come back IIs

    the rest are all Type Is

    I think 4, 5, 6, 7 (maybe) and 8 are T2.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  • Type-1 = 1,2,3,9

    Type-2 = 4,5,6,7,8



    (If they were 1979-S they would all be type-2's since none of them have blobby or sharp serifs.)

    All of the sba's look like tyI to me.

    the lincoln looks type I also,

    the only coin that may be a type II is the Kennedy half, but I am not as familiar with thier charactersistics. Don Heath will know?

    4, 5, 6, and 8 are type 2. The rest are type 1.
