Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 06/06/2014 6:00 pm I have both the CherryPickers Guide,(5th addition), and the Red Book open, (2015 addition), and they are showing differences of what the Proof 'S' type I & II MM are supposed to look like. (specifically the quarter) Is it just a typo in the CherryPickers Guide? Page 227 as well as page 459. Or is it that the Red Book is wrong? (page 235) Thanks ! Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/06/2014 6:50 pm Which year, 1979 or 1981? The 1979 mintmark is quite easy to determine while the 1981 differences are more subtle. It is also worth noting that the 1979-S Type 2 mintmark is the same mintmark as the 1981-S Type 1.

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/06/2014 10:11 pm For that coin/yr. you have either the clear S or the filled S The clear is worth about twice as much as the filled. Compare with both books and you will find out if one or the other is mistaken. Or not :) Report this Post to the Staff

Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 06/08/2014 1:32 pm OK, well that means the 5th addition of the CherryPickers Guide is Wrong. Page 227 Do you think they know? Edited by Dar 06/08/2014 1:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/08/2014 2:32 pm They probably do know it now. They evidently missed this before it went to the presses. Report this Post to the Staff
