    It may. Not much downside at $65.

    Is that haze in front of Ben's face or is that on the holder?

    Your 1956 half has a good chance of getting a cameo designation. The reverse looks DCAM.

    Another thing, look closely at the reverse of the $10.00 replacement half. From your picture I would venture a guess that you have a Type 1 1956 brilliant proof Franklin. From the picture I have no clue about what it would grade. However, if it is a Type 1 and if it grades 66 or 67 you would have something worth alot more than $10.00.

    If you are not familiar with 1956 Type 1 and Type 2 proof halves, just use the search feature to look up prior threads on the topic.

    Nice pick up for $65.00 on the set. If the replacement is a Type 2, then use that to replace the cameo half and sell the set. You may get all of you $65.00 back and have a mostly free cameo Franklin.

    the graph paper really helps with the contrast between mirror and cameoimage
  • The obverse of the Roosie looks Cam as well, not the reverseimage
