<p>[QUOTE="dimeguy, post: 4759200, member: 19855"]I think after '56 the proof reverse would be type II where the eagle was redesigned for greater detail. Biggest distinguishing feature would be the definition of the eagle's wings. I would count the tips on the eagle's right wing. Proofs would have 3 tips, circulation strikes would have 4. Just as a side note, be careful with this rule for '58 and '59. The proof dies were used on circulation strikes so that makes the water a little merky when trying to distinguish but filed cameo helps as well. From your pictures, I would guess you have a proof.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
