John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 07:17 am 1981 has two types but I don't think 1982 does http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page29.html If that last photo is a photo of your scopes screen,please do not post photos of the screen,use a memory card.

rkennedy1945 Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 4:11 pm So I am assuming from the topics and conversations that this is a 1981 Type 2 Proof set? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95630 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 4:37 pm That looks like a type 1 mint mark - have a look at the differences: the shape of the 8 and the MM itself: Type 1 MM Type 2 MM So is it a type 1 SET? don't know, but the cent is a type 1 Can you post up the MM of the other coins in this set? You see every denomination of 1979 and 1981 both had type 1 and type 2 mint marks. Is it possible that the entire set is one type over the other? THAT is a question I never wondered or asked about. So now, since you brought in up, will you please post up the MM of the nickel, dime, quarter, half, and the SBA Dollar? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
