Franklin Proof Question???

Hello everyone.
I have not been able to find out the difference between the 1956 Proof Franklin T1 & T2. Does anyone have an idea what the difference is?
Thanks,
BobbyD

    Here is a link to a prior thread regarding the Type 1 and 2 '56 Franklin.

    Type 1 vs. 2 '56 Franklin

    Good luck finding a Type 1.

    hey bobby

    look at the little eagle on the back of the coin. the wing feathers are the easiest place for me to find a recognizeable difference. count the number of feathers to the left---your left---of the perch the eagle is on. with T1 coins there will be 4 feathers. with T2 coins there will only be 3 feathers.

    now go into eBay search mode, enter 1956 franklin and start having some fun!!! they're out there with the majority of collectors not knowing the difference and the services even missing it occasionally.
