    I am new to coins. Found this guy in a roll at the bank. I've been looking online and can't seam to quite figure out if this is a type I or type II. The photos look worse then the eye, the S seams really clear to me but with these type coins I can't really tell the difference between them. Can you help please and tell me if this is a type II? I could not get the camera and lighting right but these are the best images I could get. Like I said it does look better in person then the pic looks.

    Thank you guys for your help. I appreciate it. I need a larger loop I think, these mint types are proving to be hard for me to tell. In person (not photo) it looks like it is clear and not a blob look but taking the picture the light source makes it look like a blob because of the shadowing I guess. Or maybe its just wishful thinking Lol.
    Spirityoda you said deep cameo, is that a type as well? Is it different? Just trying to learn a little, they should have classes at the university for this :)

    Is there another kind or trick to tell by chance? Like the depth of an area or something? Thanks again.
