1981 Type 1 and Type 2

When determining which type of S design on the 1981 Proof Coins you are best to use a higher power magnifier as this can be hard to detect which version you have.  One way to is to look inside the S mint mark and see if the openings are round, if so it should be a type 1 while the type 2 tends to look more egg shaped.  If the S has a flat spot on the upper left part of the mint mark and bulbous on the ends of the mint mark this would be a type 2 while the type 1 is much more uniform and cleaner looking S.
