derekbob24 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 02/28/2014 12:40 pm Went out today to pick up a few sets for my books. Picked up a 79 proof set for 10$ not even thinking about types I and II. Got home and started looking at it and I am 85% sure its a type II set! Including the SBA. I dont have anything to magnify the mint marks for pictures bit none ofbthe Ss were blobs. I could make out the S pretty clearly on all of the coins. Is there any other way of identifying these types besides the mint mark? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/28/2014 2:44 pm The type specifically refers to the mintmark, there are no other differences. It should be obvious on a 1979 but the 1981 types have more subtle differences. It is also worth noting that the 1979-S TII is the same mintmark as the 1981-S TI.

The most common combination for Type 2 coins in a 1979 set is for all of the coins to be Type 2 except for the SBA which just happens to be the one of the six that's worth the most money.
