Can anyone give me info on the Type I and Type II? A friend asked me and I don't know.

 

I gather that one is a "Filled S" and the other is a "Clear S". Does anyone have close-ups of them? Is there any other background info that I can pass along?

 

The NGC Census classifies Type I & II so they must exist. The Red Book doesn't make any distinction and Coin Values doesn't list prices for a "Clear S". What gives? Where can I get pricing info for him.

Chris,

Here's a LINK to a website that has closeups of the two varieties.

As to pricing, the Type 1. is $2 and the Type 2. goes for around $15...

I'm not trying to nitpick, Hayden, but by any chance did you read the "Subject" of my post? Thanks for the effort, anyway!

Chris,you are getting old aren't you. smirk.gif

You would think that a guy like you would know that the 2 mintmark varieties look the same regardless of denomination.The values I quoted were for the half dollars,raw that is. poke2.gif

"Filled S" and "Clear S" are misnomers since either type can be clear or filled. These are actually two distinctly shaped mintmarks with the type II being far more likely to be clear. The type I is the plain S and the type II has a more bulbous top which appears to be flying away.

Hayden, it's just a hop, skip and a jump across I-4 to Windermere. Why don't you get your parents to drive you there early, early, early one morning and camp out in front of Tiger Woods' home. When his staff puts out the Buick for garbage collection, take it! Better yet, go through his garbage and pick out some "juicy tidbits". Then you can sell them on eBay and buy a Lambourghini. Is there a "u" in it?

That wasn't a "timed-out session" problem. I was just trying to remove some of yours and Travis' O's & !'s so I didn't have to scroll across.

 

Sorry, Hayden, but I beat you to it before you were ever a twinkle in your parents' eyes. I didn't just ride in one, but I've driven it at 220 mph. That is one of the things I miss about Sunday autumn afternoons in Western Maryland.......the morning church traffic is gone....... the farmers didn't work on Sunday so they weren't driving their tractors on the road....... all the local police were at home watching the football games..............and long straightaways with banked curves.
