What do you guys think of this 1956 proof Frankie I got in today?

Some more dumpster diving:




Did I mention that I love Heritage's crappy images?

Your so lucky you need to play the lottery

You think it'll get DCAM or just cam? The obverse doesn't look as frosty as some of your others .

I'll guess CAM.

Neither. The reverse is all there for cameo but the obverse comes up just short. Still much nicer than it looked on Heritage, though.

Type 1.......please explain????

Russ

The mint retooled the reverse die in 1956. For me, the easiest way to tell is the wing feathers on the eagle to the left of the perch. Four feathers, Type1, three feathers type 2. Type 2 coins are common in CAM and DCAM, Type 1 coins are somewhat scarce in cameo and downright rare in DCAM.

I like it. Interested in selling it? If so, PM me. BTW, are the marks to the right of old Ben on the coin or on a holder?

On the coin. It has been liberated from the holder.
