1979 S Type 1 & 2?

[SuddenAdoration]

Hello everyone!

I am going blind trying to look at these two coins and possibly losing my mind after trying to get these photographed. lol
When I purchased these two coins, one was labeled type1 and the other type 2. However they look the same to me.

I am sorry one picture is a little blurry. I hope good enough for your eyes.

Are these the same types? I have labeled one A and the other B to help with this... hopefully helps lol

Thank you so much in advance for your amazing expertise

I believe you are correct -- They both look to be type IIs.

Type I is generally referred to as a 'blob', but neither MM looks blobbish.


And to make things a bit more confusing -- The '79 Type II is the same as '81 Type I.

I concur. Both look T2 to me. The "blob" is very pronounced on the T1.

Thank you! They both looked a bit thick to me compared to the type 2, but definitely not as blobbish as type 1.

Thanks again for your answer and the link.
