*** Edited by Staff to Add Year and/or Mintmark and/or Denomination to Title. It's essential to have it in the title. ***


Guys I would like your thoughts on this? This coin is very difficult to photo with the light on the scope.

That is a Type 1.
A Type 2 has a ball at both ends of the S.

1981-S Type I and II can be a challenge to tell apart, but that flat termination on the bottom is clearly Type I.
