could this be a type 2 sba . from what ive read they can come without clear fields its all up the serifs and the shape of the loop. some please help!!!!
this is the info i found.....
1981-S Type-1 -- This is the same Mint mark as introduced in the later part of 1979 for proof coinage production (and referred to as Ty-2 for that year). (It is the first one used in 1981 and is thus designated Ty-1 for that year.) It exhibits smaller rounded serifs, or missing serifs, and more oval shaped center loops than found on the Ty-2. It may come with or without clear fields or "attachments" within the center loops depending on the amount of punching pressure utilized to sink the image into the die and/or the amount of polishing the die receives. This is the more common variety for the year
1981-S Type-2 -- According to sources at the Mint, the single punch used to place the Mint mark letter on all proof denominations began to deteriorate rapidly early in 1981. It actually began to chip and break to the point that it was replaced with a new punch in October, 1981. This Mint mark was introduced in proof sets after November 1st, 1981 (and referred to as Ty-2 for this year). It exhibits large bulbous serifs and rounder center loops than found on the Ty-1. In spite of the fact that this variety is frequently and inaccurately referred to as "Clear S", it may come with or without clear fields or "attachments" within the center loops depending on the amount of punching pressure utilized to sink the image into the die and/or the amount of polishing the die receives. It does, however, have a greater tendency to be found with "clearer fields" within the loops than the Ty-1 but this is not a determining factor of type.
