Hi all,

So I think the set may be mixed. Please let me know which ones you think are Type 2 vs Type 1. Thanks!!

    Mark,

    Digital camera on a scope that we have at work. We use it for x-sections on a disecting scope. I figured it might be worth a shot after work for a few coins...I take it you like em??

    Looks like a mixed set to me. You may want to review the photo plates in the back of CPG (4th or 5th edition). There is a page of the TY. 2 mm for cent through dollar for quick comparison. I usually expect to see a clear opening between the tips of the forehead/heel of the mintmark and the torso of the mintmark, as well as a teardrop shaped plateau at the tops of the forehead/heel.

    T98 - that 1981 S.B.A. is not a Type 2 mintmark.
