Old Dummy has Dumb Franklin Question

nankraut

I'm too lazy to look this up, but...how do you tell the difference between the 1956 type 1 and type 2 Franklin half? Which is more valuable? I have a bunch of 1956 MS proof sets to put on EBAY, and would like to attribute them correctly.

I put a little info about the '56 T1 Franklin on my website: here.

the more common type-2 coins have higher relief the the type-1's and also have 3 feathers to the left of the perch as you look at it whare the type-1's have 4.

Well, by golly; I compared a 1955 proof with a 1956, and now I see what you mean. Thank you guys. Hey Carl---nice website. Too bad there's no 1941 PCGS PR66 Cent in there. (Name your price, anybody).
