<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 39163, member: 1674&quot;]The &quot;clear s&quot; designation is a little misleading for 1981 proofs.&nbsp; (It was accurate for the 1079 proofs)&nbsp; In 81 they are all &quot;clear s&#039;s&quot; but some of them have a more stylized &quot;s&quot; (the Type 2&#039;s)&nbsp; The best way to be certain of what you have (since the difference is so small) is to take the set to a reputable dealer for his opinion.&nbsp; The important coins are the SBA dollar and the Lincoln Cent (by the way, those 2 are the hardest to differentiate from their Type 1 counterparts).&nbsp; Look at the pictures of the T1 and T2 SBA pictures in your red book to see what I mean.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most dealers i know are aware of the value of the &#039;81 T2&#039;s and wouldn&#039;t let a 1981 proof set go without first checking and being certain that it is properly attributed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The red book pictures for the 1960 LG &amp; SM dates are pretty good, and unlike many die annomolies the difference on the actual coins is easily seen.&nbsp; The way that I differentiate them is by comparing where the curl of the 6 points.&nbsp; On the small date it points much &quot;higher&quot; up the stem of the 6 and on the large date the curl point to basically the middle of the stem of the 6.&nbsp; Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>CJD[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
