OK, I know this is on the wrong end of the POP spectrum, but these are hard to find!

1956 Franklin Proof 64 Type I, POP=7

Thanks Morris!

That looks like a pretty evenly matched set.

What made you shoot for the 64 grade in all dates?

Thats pretty cool that you made that set all PR64's. Different style of collector here.

whats the difference between type 1 and 2 ?

Early in 1956 the mint changed the reverse dies used to make Franklin Half Dollars. They added a lot of detail to the eagle. Each wing feather is made distinct. The breast feathers are well defined.

Franklin half dollars made prior to 1956 all have the type 1 eagle. After that they all are type 2. However there were a few type ones made in 1956

The above is from www.Carlwohlforth.com site.
