    The 56 type 1 is a rarer coin, then the type 2, and pr68 with a star is a very nice grade, but this is more money then I would want to spend on this half.

    Exactly. Nice mirrors on the cheek of that one. Maybe the contrast is on the other side.

    The type one Franklin 56 proof used the same design as the 50-55 Franklin halves. The Eagle has less definition on the type one as opposed to the type 2 which has more definition in its feathers. The type 2 also has the detail on the liberty bell less defined then the type 1.

    They may have seen what the NGC MS-68 1954-S quarter brought and decided that it was time to cash in before people came to their senses and noted that they were not bidding on PCGS coin, and they could not get it into the PCGS Registry without a crossover.

    that's a $150-$300 coin, depending on how it looks and how high the bidders are willing to go.

    about 3 weeks ago i stumbled onto a PCGS that looked really great. same grade, PR68, and designated as Type 1 on the holder. the auction title DIDN'T specify T1 and at 3 hours till close it had only been viewed by 6 people and had an opener of $49 with me as high bidder and a proxy to $75!!! nobody was trying for the common T2 which is what they must have thought it was from the title. well, another bidder bumped me up and i sniped at around $135 only to lose to his proxy. bummer. it seems the seller was unaware of the price difference betwee T1-T2 cause he referred to the PCGS guide which doesn't differentiate, either. at $49 for a T2 most bidders thought it was too high.
