That is a proof, so it is definitely a type II. Remember, most proofs in 1956, and all proofs after that, had the Type II eagle.
My best guess to produce an effect like that would be a double struck coin, second strike slightly shifted. If that is the case, great find!
It is impossible to tell the grade from those pics, sorry. I will say though that 53D is a very common date, and one of the best struck dates in...
Post a pic and there are several guys on here, including myself, that can help you with an attribution. It is far more likely that you are missing...
Dok U, its hard to tell, but I don't think thats a Type II. The type II has much stronger feathers, whereas yours are very weak, ill defined, and...
It is impossible to grade proofs from good images, and even more impossible to grade from those images. I can tell you, however, that coin does...
I don't see any doubling in those pics - but there is probably quite a bit of die deterioration. The 1958 Type II's were struck from discarded...
Yup, that is definitely a Type II. As I said, 1958 Type II's are much harder to find. Yours appears to be AU from the pics, in hand it could be as...
Kind of surprised by the lack of discussion here. Anybody?
I am not depressed at all by dropping Franklin prices. That just means I can get nicer, better, more :) That is a gorgeous EOR you got there, do...
Taking care of life is the highest priority. You might regret selling it, but just think of all the coins you will be able to buy once you start a...
That is a nice Roosie. I'll show the only three I own: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

Correct. Both of my wins were second place. I'm really disappointed that TOTW is broken, because that was one of my favorite features of this website.
I still find Cherrypicking to be an enjoyable and profitable pasttime on Ebay. If you know what you are doing, there are numerous deals to be had....
Well, I came to this party a bit late - but I was going to say that the 5 definitely looked like true doubling to me. You see some evidence of...
Its damage, sorry.
This coin is beautiful, and comes with classic 1958 mint set toning. Unfortunately, its also a beast to photograph. So I was forced to try...
I would say you did alright. Pictures would help, and congrats on your first gold purchase!
It is not a misaligned die (see my recent thread on the subject). I would say they are either heavily worn coins, or foundinroll's theory sounds...
