<p>[QUOTE="bsshog40, post: 526971, member: 17068"]Most if not all 1981s proof sets were "Either" type1 or type2. By the pics shown, you have a type1 set. If you look closely at the S mintmarks, the type1 will have a little 35degree angle at the back of the bottom serif of the S. The type2's are not like this. Many people mistake these types on 1981s sets due to most all of them being a Clear S and they think this is the determination between the sets, not so. The difference is the design of the S. If you look at the pic above, you will see that the S is uniformed from the top to bottom on the type2. The type1's usually are wider at the field and come to a point at the top of MM and also have that 35degree angle at the end of the S. The type2's are almost the same size from top to bottom and mostly unifromed in shape from end to end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
