Ok these are a little better, Stupid camera doesn't catch it even on Super Macro. But went back to the old method. Stereo Scope with Cell phone to one of the eye pcs. I think there clear enough to see what I'm seeing. I think the SBA, Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt,Washington are Type 2. JFK I'm not so sure. Hope these help First up is the big dog... Susan B Anthony I left part of the star and neck line in the pic so you could see its a SBA  Now the Lincoln Cent,   Jefferson nickle,  Roosevelt dime JFK Half  Washington quarter |

I'm no expert on the series or on varieties, but the SBA looks like a type 1 to me. Let's see what others say. |

I also think they are type 1. You're not really looking for clear mint marks like in 1979. But more for large bulbous serifs and rounder center loops.

They remain the same thickness all the way through, Clear centers, and the serifs are bulbous and flat. I don't feel the JFK is Its rounded with a fatter base, it gets narrower towards the surface, Peak like. I feel that ones a Type 1, The SBA I'm almost certian. I'm gonna keep working on the pics, See if I can transfer what I see.    |

Less my eyes decieve me, I'm seeing some large serifs and round loops. It sure looks like a type 2. I'm 99 percent sure thats a type 2.

I'm kind of torn now and can't make up my mind. I sure hope you scored the type 2 though!

I'm happy you said that Coindog, thought my want was over powering my judgement, Its amazing what a little thing like desire can do. Murrellington thank you for your honesty, I've got to have that with these, I'm not as comfortable as I'd liketo be, expessially when I want it so bad. There not the perfect Type 2, and the pics give it rounded effect. I think from the reflection of light washing out the actual design or the actual reflection from the relief of MM making it look rounder then it is. . Thats why I took that side pic. you can see the flatness a lot better. Also th rounded even bulbous ends. Lets see what some others think. It really would be kick !$$ to add the SBA and Lincoln for $9. This one I'll be selling though. |

Maybe some of the guys in the "Modern US Variety & Error Coins" section of the forum would know better.

Thats where I should of posted this. I keep forgetting about that section. I'm so use to going directly to Modern Coins. And from spending every day on 25th Anv Set I completely overlooked it.

look like T-I, all of them, sorry 2 say....T-II would have a flatter top...these are rounded....don't even use the clear or filled aspect, it's all about the shape of the top of the loop.

I'm now back and fourth on it again. Leaning more towards Type 1. Whats got me stumped is the flatness of them. I've never seen type ones so clear and flat like. I emailed baker from the site that has a full break down of different styles.
