    THE BEST WAY TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE IS GET A 55 OR OLDER PROOF FRANKLIN. LOOK AT THE EAGLE NEXT TO THE BELL.
    SIMPLY PUT THE 56 TYPE 1, HAS THE EAGLE THAT ARE THE SAME AS THE 55 OR OLDER PROOFS. THATS THE DIFFERENCE. MOST 56 ARE TYPE 2.
    HOPE THAT HELPED YOU

    As Stockford says compare a 55 or earlier proof with a 57 or later proof. Look at the strike and definition of the feather area of the eagle. The later are better defined. Then simply compare your 56 to both and you have it.
