Message:: [QUOTE="dimeguy, post: 1196103, member: 19855"]lol...sorry, man, but no on a couple of accounts. First, that was simply the eagle of the 55 Bugs Bunny that was pictured for bell lines and obverse rabbit teeth as well. As far as I know, die varieties of Type I and II were not noted for 1955...though I don't have a cherrypicker's guide so that may be different. (I hear gasping from other cointalk members..."No Cherrypicker's Guide!? What is that man thinking!?") Secondly, if it was a 1958 or '59, it would be a type 1. Just as a learning opportunity, I like to think of it this way. The original circulation strike had 4 feather's on the eagle's left wing. Since this was first, I see it as Type I. Type II came later when they took the proof reverse...3 feathers as it would appear sharper and more detail on the proofs. As the eagle shown had 4 feathers on the left, it would be a Type I, if it was a '58 or '59. Good try though![/QUOTE]
