They look like type 2 coins to me. I think the type 1's have a more "filled" look to them.

From what I can see by these pics, I'd say

No
Yes
No

The second one has the flat top on top of the S which normally indicates an 81-S type 2.

The diagnostics for the 1979 S TY2 and the 1981 S TY2 are different. A "clear" S indicates a 1979 S TY2 whereas the 1981 S TY1 AND TY2 are both "clear". The 1881 S TY2 has a different shape to the S (I think the top portion of the S is "flatter" on the TY2). I can't say if what you are showing is 1981 S TY1 or TY2, but I do know that "clear" has nothing to do with the diagnostic. MadMarty knows the difference on the 1981's I think, you might PM him.

Sorry, for some reason I didnt realize we were looking at 1981 coins. I need to read more carefully. I think what I said pertains more to the 1979 type 1 and 2 coins.

I think the MM on the 1981 Type 2 coins have a flat appearnce. Yours appear to be rounded. My guess then is that they are all type 1 coins.
