<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 693686, member: 9474&quot;]The Type IIs are found on every date from 56-63....allegidly and I say that because I have personally only found 3 (1958 and 1959) so I have no physical proof.&nbsp; There isn&#039;t too much info out there that I have found on these and nobody that I know collect these.&nbsp; This would be a great area to do some research if you had access to hundreds if not thousands of Franklins.&nbsp; The dates that the Type II is known to exist are on 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1963.&nbsp; Why do you think they are only found on the Philly issues and not the Denver or San Fran issues???? The answer is quite simple.... Philly was the only mint that created proof issues back then so it makes complete sense that you would only find the T2 rev on Philly issue coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This same thing happened with the Washington Quarters.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To expand on what physics-fan said....proof dies are specially prepared dies.&nbsp; Although these dies had a proof reverse, they were prepared for circulated issue coinage.&nbsp;&nbsp; To understand how proof like or deep proof like coins are produced, that is another story for another thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
