[QUOTE="alurid, post: 8081210, member: 81991"]I think all your coins have type 1 MM's. Your 1979's have the blob 'S', and both of your SBA's have a round hole in the bottom loop. I have had this same question about the 1981 type 2 with my own coin. Its hard to find good photos of the differences. I have used these as go-by's. I think the type 1 for 1981 has a protuberance from the curve of the 'S' that touches the inside edge the top serif, where as the type 2 has the smallest bit of a gap in this same area. Also note the different shape of the holes in the bottom of the 'S'. type 1 is round, type 2 has a tear drop shaped in these photo's.
