qualified_coinnut Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Just posted image in my album, can anyone tell me if this is the clear "s" type? I checked the book, but I'm not an expert on U.S. material. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qualified_coinnut Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 No, in my personal album, sorry. I've been on this site forever and still have problems loading pics. Franz It's uploaded in the omnicoin now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Little bit fuzzy pic, but it looks clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualified_coinnut Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks Mark; I just uploaded a 2nd scan, that's about the best I can do with this. It is next to the first pic. in the omnicoin forum, if you wouldn't mind having a look. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 BTW is it a 81 or a 79? Edit never mind just saw it was a 81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualified_coinnut Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 BTW is it a 81 or a 79? Edit never mind just saw it was a 81 The better of the 2 if it is a clear s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 The filled are pretty obvious. The s almost looks like a blob. Now the question is rounded or flat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 It's hard to tell without a better closeup. Just because it looks "clear" doesn't make it so, it has to do with the edges of the S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualified_coinnut Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I can't distinguish them using the 2006 redbook; I may have to bring it to the U.S. when I go April 11. The problem is that the whole area around the s appears to be clouded, almost cameo like. I only have a 10x loupe here, which doesn't do it justice. Guess I can kick myself for selling my digital camera last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Franz. Have you checked this link: http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/1979SAnd1981STypes.htm It describes them pretty good and clicking on the small mint marks will bring up a good larger picture.

Guest Stujoe Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 As Tiff said, yours looks like a Clear but it is tough to tell not in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 On my 1981 it almost looks like an 8 with the "attachments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
