Dale U New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/19/2014 10:02 am Hello all, I am wondering if 1981 "type 2" mint sets were made early in 1981 and then changed, Or were they made later in the year and not noticed. Any help with this would be good. Thanks, Dale Report this Post to the Staff

The Type 2's are the later implementation, produced using a new mint mark punch created because of the deterioration of the older one. Given how individual dies were used and age, you can find sets with both types mixed as well. Report this Post to the Staff

I also don't think anyone knows the date that the switch to the type 2 dies was made. Report this Post to the Staff
