   1981 Type 1 on the left, Type 2 on the right. Thank you. Maybe this is Murphy's problem (besides others ) He might be thinking the MM needs to look like the 1981 type 2 to be a 1979 type 2 which of course is incorrect. Joe.

   Remember 1979-S type 2 does not have to be total clear it just has to have rounded ends on the Balls of the S Type 1 is a blur with no balls clear. We need an expert here.

   Here's some pictures Tim posted in the flamefest thread: Type 1 on left, Type 2 on right. I'd say the coin in question is a Type 2.

   I'm no expert in this area but isn't part of the confusion that certain year's type 2 is other year's type 1? It's not good enough to just show the MM you also have to know the year of the coin to determine type 1 or 2. Joe.

   Murphy, Your new image tells me that the coin you received is - without question - a Type 2. So is the one you had in your Type 1 slot. Russ, NCNE

   Looks like a Type 2 to me. The Type 1 is basically a mushy ball with very little seperation. This one appears more distinct and similar to the 1981 Type 1. Russ, NCNE

    In Lincolns the 1979S type 1 is actually tougher to locate than the type 2. Just thought to add something to the conversation. I have no idea which is harder to acquire in the Kennedy series.
