The "S" on my 1979 set was easily identified as filled variety and looked more like a blob. The 1981 variation seems much harder for me to figure out since it's not as obvious.I've looked at dozens of sites and can't quite seem to figure out which one mine is. All images are the same coin. I just have a cheap USB microscope and it was hard to get a clear image through the holder. Report this Post to the Staff
