Type 1 vs. Type 2

The Type 2 designation refers to the revised mintmark style introduced by the San Francisco Mint in late 1979. On Type 2 Proofs, the S mintmark appears crisp, open, and well-formed, in contrast to the earlier, more blobby Type 1. This mintmark punch update resulted in fewer pieces, making the 1979 S Susan B. Anthony Dollar Type 2 Proof more desirable to collectors who focus on modern varieties.
