I don't understand your question? All proof halfs from 1957-1963 (and most of the 1956 halves) are all type II.
there are very few type 2 MS & PR I sold a 1957 Pcgs MS-65FBL type 2 last year.but they are very hard to find.:kewl:
A 1957 MS type II? Do you have pictures and documentation? They have been rumoured to exist, but no Franklin expert I have talked to has actually ever seen one.
Rick Tomaska of R&I coin has it now.I look all thur my photo and I must have lost it when this cpu crashed last fall

I think you can see a '59 in this thread - http://www.cointalk.com/t82082/ Never heard of a '57 existing myself.
I know all about the Type II - I wrote an extensive thread on them here: http://www.cointalk.com/t72184/ Which is why I was so excited to hear about a 1957. Apparently he sold it to Tomaska (which lends it great credence). Unfortunately, he does not still have the documentation or pictures.
Great Post physics...dont know how I missed that one when it was out. So bacially it's like the type II quarters that we were talking about. Something new to look for all the time. Thanks a bunch!
