<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 693581, member: 9474"]Jessash,</p><p>As physics-fan said, it is a type II rev Franklin half. On your previous post that you created about this coin, I had mentioned that it was a Type II. These should and do command more money than a type I, but like any variety, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay. I personally collect both and although the TPGs do not attribute them at this time, I do believe that someday as their popularity increases so will the demand to have these attributed by a TPG. I have also found that the 59 seems to be one of the easiest of the T2s to find. It appears that a good number of these found there way into mint sets. If you like Franklins, my advice to you would be to try and put together a UNC set of Franklins with both type I and II reverses. This is what I am currenly doing. This would not be a very difficult set or expensive set to put together but would require some time and dedication. Once completed, you will have one super fantastic collection to display.
