    Looks like a TY2, the common one.

    I maybe wrong but is not the type 1 the common one? the type 2 is about $40.00 more in the price guide?

    I"m thinking the Type 2 is the higher priced one.
    Someone posted this a while back.

    According to Rick Tomaska's web site, the 1956 type 1 is the more expensive one. He has a 1956 NGC PR-67 Type 1 Cameo at $750 and a 1956 NGC PR-68 Type 2 Cameo at $175.

    I found this on ebay describing the differences between a Type 1 and Type 2 proof:

    http://reviews.ebay.com/1956-Proof-...-Type-1-and-Type-2_W0QQugidZ10000000006277091

    Looking at the number of tips on the eagle's wing, it appears you have a type 2.

    Sorry, I was wrong. The type 1 is the better of the two.
    There was a really cool thread about these a few years back. I'll see if I can find it.

    Keep us updated on the status of your set!
    I'm working on a set of PF Franklins as well...have been for years, but I'm alittle picky. They all have to be graded PF66, and I perfer NGC graded. I do have a few DCAMs and CAM's, but not totally.
    I'm down to needing the 1951 and 1952. I'm wanting to upgrade a few of the ones I have, but not in a big hurry.

    The 1950-52 were the tough ones for me. Just couldn't pay the price for cams. The 1950 in dcam would be a really special coin to own.

    I know any PR-65 Cameo is big $$$ coin and Ultra Cameo I would have win a lottery !
