1979 SBA type 2

Actually the whole set appears to be a type 2.
The SBA unfortunately has some spots on obverse. Thinking 68 at best?

    Nice find! I think the one on the neck is too large and noticeable for this to make 68. Either way, while still a great variety that commands a premium, it wouldn't be worth certifying. A quick look at eBay's sold listings shows PCGS 69DCAM examples selling for $50 - $60 on average...

    Nice specimen.... except for the spots.... Likely milk spots and not removable. Not sure what is on the B... Cheers, RickO

    Canon 7D with speed light set on 1/4-1/2 power depending on coin and 2 “daylight” bulbs with a small soft box to help defuse the light. Corded shutter release.
    Still need to dial in the white balance.
    Currently Set up in a closet to eliminate any spill light so the only light used I control.
    Everything done in camera, only use photoscape to crop and combine.
