That's interesting, I looked it up on PCGS Coinfacts and saw this -- From this I see mine as being a Type 2. But yours seems to have the same "3 Feathers Left of Perch". Does NGC have a different idea of what is type 1 and type 2?
Here the Eagle on the reverse of the 1956 Franklin Proof 67 Cameo . Is it a One or two?here a closeup
I think it's a Type 2. Here's the link to PCGS coinfacts -- http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/6697
I found this too -- http://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-type-ii-reverse-franklin.72184/ btw, Beautiful coin you have there
Thanks Paul !!! :-[ 1886 4 pence just got here from Switzerland my buddy Jack Vincent sent it to me. View attachment 324604 View attachment 324605
Thanks J J my buddy Jack was looking at a book store and found this.He also found the book he was looking for too. The four pence was in the glass top display case he paid at he said it was 3 euros
Beautiful Walkers, high grades & earlier dates too! I hope to one day go after an MS date set for this series. Are they all graded?
3 Euros! Sweet. Two of my favourite things: old coins & books! Had to give up most of the books (lack of space) but not the coins!
Thanks TravIntiques! They'd be a beautiful coin to do an MS set of, most of mine are AU but these four are all graded by NGC as MS62. Personally I thought the 34 & 35 looked a bit better....
I am confused, you got it from a friend in Switzerland who paid 3 Euros? They got Swiss francs over there... still, a lovely coin, no matter where it came from
This may be off topic for this particular thread, and correct me if I am wrong, but I think Type I and Type II are only in reference to business strikes. All proofs have the type II eagles.

Six views of the same coin (photographs by Robec). I ran a poll on another board on which photo people liked best and #4 won and #5 came in second (due to even-ness of lighting and sharpness).
