1981 Type 2 SBA's.

I have looked at many hundreds if not thousands of 1981 Proof Sets looking for Type 2's. I am starting to think that the Type 2 m/m is actually an inverted m/m of the Type 1 Variety. Has anyone else ever considered this or made the same observation?? I know pictures would help but I don't have the ability to take high resolution macro pictures.

Given the quite apparent differences in serifs and with most Type-2's having a very clearly larger inside center loops, I can't say I've ever thought of them this way.

Do you have some examples that could actually be different than the traditional Type-1/Type-2?

Keets,

I have often wondered the same thing, the style looks more like a modified invert

to my eyes there has always appeared to be Type 2 m/m that weren't identical, as though there are a few distinct punches used. I will admit that Type 2's generally are thicker, but not always.

about a year ago I happened to look at a clear Type 1 coin upside down and noticed that it looked like a Type 2, that where the question comes from.

There are 2 versions on the Type 1 MM for 1981 and 2 versions of the Type 2 MM for 1981

No pics to show, but if you find some, it'll clearly show it.
