[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3265168, member: 77413"][B]1979-S Proofs[/B] When I think of Type 1 and Type 2 variations, I think of a significant difference. For the 1917 Standing Liberty quarters, virtually every design element on the reverse was moved and the lettering changed in size and style. The Buffalo nickel went from a reverse with a bison on a mound to a bison on flat ground. The only difference I know of here is a variation in the mint mark. Type 1 is mostly filled in, and Type 2 is more open. Giving this tiny difference a name doesn't seem worth the trouble to me.
