5c Collection - Jefferson 5c - PROOF Primary Set
1981-S TYPE 2

Owner Comments:

NGC type 7 holder.
Extreme contrast between well frosted devices & deep bright mirrors. A reddish spot on left side of monticello only visible under magnification. Some specs (shiny rubs or nics in frosting) in hair on obverse.
1981-S "Type-2" This Mint mark was introduced in the later part of 1981 for proof coinage production (and referred to as Type-2 for this year). It exhibits larger bulbous serifs and rounder center loops than are found on
the Type-1. This variety is sometimes referred to as the "Clear S" variety; however, it may come with or without clear fields or "attachments" within the center loops depending on the amount of punching pressure utilized to sink the image into the die and/or the amount of polishing the die receives. Although it has a greater tendency to be found with "clearer fields" within the loops than the Type-1, this is not a determining factor as to type.
