I just bought a few proof sets and this is what I found inside. Im think it is type 1 . But I know you guys can tell me for sure. Is it worth grading, I would say it is a pr66 maybe 67.... very slight cameo but probably wouldnt grade cameo.

It's a type 1 all right. A PCGS graded CAMEO type 1 is quite valuable, especially in PR67 and above; but it's hard to get a cameo grade on them. If not cameo, there isn't much of a premium over the type 2. I sold a MS 1956 proof set with the type 1 half on EBAY recently, and it didn't bring much more money than one with the type 2. I have quite a few 1956 MS proof sets with the type 1 half, but n o cameos, unfortunately.

I agree with proof - Type 1

Pardon my ignorance but what year are the coins?

1956 type ones are very rare in CAM but common as grass in any other !

Only worth a little more than typs twos,check the pops.

Just made 4 of them and made about 5 % on them when the smoke cleared.

That looks like a Type 2 coin to me.

Thanks for the replies .You guys are great. The coin would not grade cameo, that much I know for certain. I appreciate your knowledge.

It looks like a Type 2 to me. There appears to be three feathers to the left of the perch. Type 1's have four feathers to the left (as on the 1950-55 Franklins) and the Type 2's have three feathers (1957-63).

Normally, the Type 1's do not have much detail in the feathers near the legs. This coin appears to be that way as well, but possibly it is not fully struck.

the 1956 type 2 are the finest FRANKLIn. the type one is almost impossible to run in cameo. as far as i know there's no deep cameo. type 1 coin was run off old dies and the type 2 modified the reverse eagle, making it a sharper eagle with great frost. buy the type 2.

Type-1 CAM.
ms66-6
ms67-23
ms68-9

Type-1 DCAM.
ms67-2
ms68-2

Type-1 cam. and deepcam. combined run about 9% of total type-1 population graded
by PCGS and 29% for the type-2.

Here is a 56 Type 1 that I hope would go CAM. The mirrors are all there as you can even see my hands on the camera body.
