1981 "S" Proof set

I gave my bro a proof set years ago. He recently passed, so I got it back.

It's a fresh 1981 Proof set with the TYPE 2 "S" minty marks. The mint marks are as clear as a bell, so I'm surmising from this web pic attached that I'm correct with a Type 2.

Does anyone have experience/care to chime in on this topic? And perhaps a VALUE as well? Online sales go from $185 to >$400.

Type 2. OLE!!!

The "S" you posted does not look like the Type 2 mint mark found on 1981-S coins. It looks like the Type 2 for 1979-S coins and the Type 1 for 81-S.

 

Here is my type 1 and type 2 so yes it looks like a type 2 IMO.

 

Sorry to hear your brother passed.
You can compare your coin here. Let us know.
Or post a close up photo of your coins mintmark.

Yes my mint mark is exactly like the second photo. I tried taking macro photos but I failed

 

If you say so, I cannot argue.

 

The "S" on the 81 type 2 is larger and also flat on top, not rounded as your type 1 is.

 

Sorry to hear about your brother passing.

Please post a reference. I have several sets that qualify.

 

I don't know a lot about mint marks, but the TYPE 1 mint mark looks like the "S" is on top of another mint mark. Maybe I need knew glasses. Thanks for showing us your coins.

 

This is just for the Susan B's. So compare your coin and date to this.

 

Where did you get this. The 79-S type 2 looks incorrect. That's what the 81-S Type 2 looks like.

 

Except, the 81-S T-2 is a bit larger than previous years, looks obvious to eye without any mag. Easy to spot from a distance.

 

Great job. I think I can tell the difference now if I needed to. Thanks

 

Cheech out. Confused

 

sorry about your brother

 

I'll have to check for a different source, I always thought this list was correct.

 

Let's see the proof set!
