JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 7:02 pm Concerning the coins in the 1979-S proof sets, are they all usually either Type I or Type II or has anyone ever found a mixture of both in a single set? Just curious because I recently found a set with all Type I coins EXCEPT the penny, it's clearly a Type II. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

The dollar was the last coin to switch over from type 1 to type 2 so the full type 2 sets came late in the production making them the toughest ones to find and the type 2 dollar seldom comes in a mixed type set.
