i am new to this site and i have found many threads on type 1 and type 2 1981s proof's. I understand that the type 2 has bulbous ends. Here is where i get confused. the type 2 also has a slope up all the way to the start of the bulbous. Is that true or i am just looking too hard at my coins?
i am really looking at the quarter but also looking at the dollar as well. I have a quarter that doesn't have the sloped up curve but it has the bulbous and it's a wire s
I have a 1981 S Type II Kennedy Proof Coin.and was wondering about it too.I know nothing about it much, only that it was in my dads things that he left me when he passed away a few years ago.
the nickel, dime, quarter, and half are all pretty easy to differentiate with the naked eye, the cent and the SBA are much more challenging. If you have one of those first 4 and you can't easily tell that it is a type 2 it is likely that it isn't a T2.
well I took some scans of my 1981 proof set, and I tried to zoom in on the MMs - I still can't tell which I have. I'm guessing type 1, but they also have some charactoristics of the type 2, as well... what say the rest of you?
That's what I thought. The dime threw me the most - When I compared it to the website resource that whoopig provided, I really wasn't sure.
I agree with GDJMSP, and the dime is the only I had to look at twice too. Upon further inspection I am sure they are all T1's. Nice pic's though, I have a heck of a time getting that close with my cheap Kodak camera, and I've tried pretty hard to do it too.
Thanks. I'm actually using a scanner with Page View to crop. When you use the scan source, it resizes without the image degrading too much. My digital camera is useless.
