<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midtncoin, post: 2948867, member: 89569&quot;]Without pics, just from the description, it sounds like you have a type-1 79 proof.&nbsp; In 1979, the S-mintmark had devolved into basically a blob.&nbsp; Late in the year, the dies were replaced with new, crisp, sharply defined mintmarks.&nbsp; The original &quot;blobs&quot; are called Type-1 while the new clear &quot;S&quot; is called a Type 2.&nbsp; Of the two, the type one carries no premium but the Type 2 does have some value.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This scenario was repeated again in 1981.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because the mint-mark change was not done to all denominations at the same time, it is possible to have a 1979 proof set with a mixture of both type1 and 2.&nbsp; If you are fortunate to have all six coins as type 2, then you are in luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
