The Type 1 variety (or &quot;Round Top&quot; variety) is actually a worn version of the &quot;Plato (Flat) Top&quot; Type 2 variety of 1979, which had deteriorated by 1981. On the Type 2 variety, the mintmark is clearly defined, and the serifs are separated from the diagonal stroke of the &quot;S&quot;. Of the two varieties, the Type 2 &quot;Plato (Flat) Top S&quot; is the more desirable. The most valuable 1981-S Proof Sets are those in which all of the coins are of the Plato (Flat) Top S variety; <u>the value of partial sets drops dramatically, depending on the number of &quot;Plato (Flat) Top S&quot; coins in the set</u>. The Dollar and Cent Type 2 carry the biggest premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mintage: 4,063,083 sets[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
