<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrstealth99, post: 343415, member: 12561&quot;]Greetings,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have come across what I believe may be an elusive 1961 Franklin Proof DDR.</p><p><br /></p><p>My local dealer is out of town at the Phoenix coin show so I thought maybee someone on the forum could help me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The back of the coin appears to be mostly normal when compared to any other proof Franklin.&nbsp; The only 2 noticible differences appear to be:</p><p><br /></p><p>#1 - The &quot;E Pluribus Unum&quot; and the 2 dots are heavily frosted and 2 to 3 times larger than on a normal proof.&nbsp; When you look at the coin at an angle you can clearly see that the letters are not &quot;crisp&quot; as on a normal franklin and in fact the E seems very large especially the | portion, on the word Pluribus the P is much larger and the other letters are crammed together almost touching each other.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2 -All of the other letters on the back are much thicker than on a normal Franklin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have attached a scan and not sure if it will help or not.&nbsp; Any questions/comments would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
