1979 & 1981 proof sets... determining type 1 & 2's

[McKinley-migration]

how does it work.. if one coin is a type 2, then they all are? or can they have just one t2 here and there.. i have a little box here of em, do i need to examine each coin?

Do you have " The Official Red Book" a guide book of United States Coins? If you don't you need to get it. What you are asking could be real hard to cover with just one answer. Then you examine each one of them and label.

Many of the sets are mixed type I and type II. Complete sets are relatively uncommon which is why they have a premium. The dollars and cents have more premium mainly because there is more demand.

A nice looking 1981 T2 PR69RDU usually goes for more than $200 on eBay for true Dutch auctions. I think there are currently 2 Buy It Now listings, one for almost $400 and I believe the other is over $500.

 

I was lucky and picked up a beautiful 1979 T2 PR69RDU for less than $40 but I think they usually go for almost $100.

 

Both Type 1 coins in PR69RDU can be picked for around $20-40 on eBay.

 

These prices are all based on NGC graded coins.

Don't be upset over that price. An 81T2 68ucam for $60? I would be very suprised if you didn't make a handsome profit on that coin! Those coins usually only bring about $35-40.

 

A 79T2 68ucam can be found for about $20.
