The type 1 and type 2 1979 dollar coins pertain only to proof coins and refers to the mint mark. The mint mark will always be an "S". The type 1 mint mark is called a "filled" mark because the "S" has a smaller bottom curve than the top curve and lacks detail giving it a "filled in look. The type 2 is a more perfectly shaped "S" with the top and bottom curves being more in balance and the mark has far greater detail than the type 1.

What is the value of a 1981 Kennedy proof half dollar coin?

It would depend on if the coin was released as a proof coin (very shiny and looks mirror like, with an "S" mint mark) or an "uncirculated" coin and the general condition of the coin. A Proof coin, depending on blemishes (or lack there of) and if it is a Type I or Type II, can get between $7 and $65. An uncirculated coin that has never been in someone's pocket, touched or scratched can get between $2 and $750. In any case, if the coin has been touched or damaged, spend it for the face value.


What isType A and B sacagawea dollar?

On the newer Sacagaweas, there is edge lettering. The alignment of this lettering determines which type it is. When you lay the coin face up on a table ... Type A will have the edge lettering right-side-up. Type B will have the lettering upside-down. There is an even chance of it being either type -- all depends which side was up when the coin was inserted into the edging machine -- kinda like the 50/50 chance of flipping the coin heads side up or tails side up.

Whats the difference between a 1979 S type 2 proof Silver Dollar and a 1979 S type 1 silver dollar?

The difference is in the 'S' mint mark which is found on the left side of the coin just above her shoulder. The Type 1 dollar's 'S' is like a blob - it is not well defined and is somewhat fat. On the other hand, the 'S' on the Type 2 dollar is more clearly defined and is clearly an 'S'. The Type 2 dollar is much more scarce than the Type 1 dollar.
