Are these type 2 mint marks for 1981 sba dollar

Dealer says no. I say yes. How do you vote? Last picture from Mint Set.

Wow. I know this variety and even I can't quite tell from these. It's close.

 

Gonna go with no, no, no, yes, no, no

 

Some of them look like they have that rounded bulbous serif end.

 

The way I use to determine 1981 types is kinda weird. Imagine yourself a tiny person skating on the mirrored field of the coin. You come upon this random S-shaped piece of higher land. Is it a hill with a rounded but S-shaped summit (Type 1)? Or is it a mesa with a flattened summit (Type 2)? This metaphor has never steered me wrong.

 

No-no, no, no, no, no-no-no, no, no-no, no, no-no
Na-no, no, na-no, no-no, na-no, no-no, no, no-no, no

Nobody can do the (Shing-a-ling) like I do
Nobody can do the (Skate) like I do
Nobody can do (Boogaloo) like I do
Nobody can do (Philly) like I do

Well, don't you know
I'm gonna skate right through
Ain't nobody do it but me
Nobody but me (nobody but me)

Yeah, I'm gonna spin, I do
Ain't nobody do it but me, babe
(Nobody but me)
Well, let me tell you nobody
Nobody but me

Let me tell you, nobody

(Nobody) nobody
(Nobody) nobody
(Nobody) nobody
(Nobody) nobody
(Nobody) nobody
(Nobody) nobody
(Nobody) nobody
(Nobody)

[Instrumental Interlude]

No-no, no, no, no, no-no-no, no, no-no, no, no-no
Na-no, no, na-no, no-no, na-no, no-no, no, no-no, no

Nobody can do the (Shing-a-ling) like I do
Nobody can do the (Skate) like I do
Nobody can do (Boogaloo) like I do
Nobody can do (Philly) like I do

Ooooooh, yeah

Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody

 

*ignore*

 

I do the same thing except I'm a tiny dog riding a scooter. The 4th one is the only one that looks mesa like over the entire mint mark.

 

So the next time you, @V. Kurt Bellman, find yourself imagining your a tiny person skating on the surface of your coin and you run into a tiny dog (I am assuming a Corgi) riding a scooter, toss it a treat and give it a pat on the head. You never know it could be @CoinCorgi.

 

Atta.

 

thank you michael

 

Well... I’ll be on speed skates bent over churning my guts out, not doing frou frou double Salchows, but okay, I’ll bring Scooby Snacks.

 

Just imagine the damage you would be doing to the surface of the coin. Sounds like a new thread theme to me. Post your coins Kurt "skated" on.

 

“i am not worthy!” Probably because I skated in New Jersey... hahahaha keep on keeping on sensai master jedi! Let the schwartz be with you! Cheers!
