jupiterkm1 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 4:56 pm I've studied this for hours, decided to post it and let in some good experienced opinions! I think this is the Type II (flat S on top) mintmark for the SBA proof. I included an S mintmark from a regular 1980S for comparison. Sure would like to hear what others have to say on this one. Thanks. Kevin Report this Post to the Staff

MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 7:42 pm I would say type 1 also. Another pickup point is the first three stars to the left of the date. First star normal, second star slightly smaller, third star small with a long point. Unless the picture is fooling me, your coin appears to have this feature. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 9:09 pm It's a type 1 mintmark on the 1981 S SBA proof. The confusion comes in because it is the type 2 mintmark on a 1979 S proof SBA. The coin here shows the normal mintmark for the 1981 S proof SBA.

jupiterkm1 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 9:29 pm Greatly appreciate all the help! Until I saw the example in the CherryPickers Guide, I thought the difference was the "clear S" versus "filled S" explanation, even though the SBA coin facts says that is not always the case. I had never heard them differentiated by a "flat S" versus "rounded S", such as the Cherrypicker Guide example. Thanks for the input! Report this Post to the Staff
