Hi Can you tell me if this is a ty-2 or ty-1. I sure hope it is. I have a nice set of these in a Capital holder1979-1981 and if this is the ty-2 I have a bonus. Thanks

Miterman,

I guess I am the first to be the bearer of bad news but this is a type 1. The 1979 type 1/2 are easy to tell because there is a filled S and a clear S variety and there is not much trouble in identification. For the 1981 S it is a little trickier. I usually look at the serifs. The type 2's have very bulbous serifs. Here is a picture:

Both type 1 and 2 can be clear so that is not a distinguishing factor.

Hope this helps.

at first I disagreed with Jim, but after reading this page http://www.bestcoin.com/Diagnostics...oof-Sets.htm he is correct in stating that even though it has a clear S the 1981 Type 2's have bulbous serifs instead of the rounded serifs this coin shows. If this were a 1979 it would definately be a Type2 but since this punch was introduced in 1979 (and referred to as a type2 for 1979) it is called a type1 for the 1981 series because it is the first one used for that date
