Pass this on if you know who purchased this!

Work has been busy, and somehow I missed this! On 3/27/05 Teletrade auction 2018, lot 1331 sold for
2,700.00. It is a 1959P Franklin PCGS 66FBL #21902966

Perhaps the buyer knows what they got; besides being condition-rare, it is toned, making it even rarer, and
now to top it off, having just looked at the image, it is a mega-rare type 3 reverse (Breen), an overstrike of
the type 1 (low-relief eagle) and type 2 ( high-relief proof eagle) hubs.

In this grade, it may be a one-of-a-kind, and worth 50K minimum....congrats to the owner!

    Pardon my ignorance but...

    How can you tell the coin is a type 3?

    Is there doubling of the eagle's feathers or some other diagnostic?

    While it is technically a double-die, there is in fact very little signs of it; the dots next to "E" in the motto on the
    reverse is sometimes noticeable, but not always. Best way to tell is to look at the eagle, as it has characteristics
    of both eagles....Ed
