<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 927971, member: 9474"]What you are looking at are three areas that I have pointed out which are easy to spot and make determining this variety very easy. The first circle is around the right bell handle. This is clearly doubled and has a slightly upward separation from where the handle should be. Also, as the second arrow points to, but the pics don't show that well is a very obvious line or separation on the horizontal portion of the bell handle. Lastly, the Eagle itself. On a Type 1, there are 4-5 feathers on the left wing, but on a type II there are 3 bold and distinct feathers. This diagnostic makes is very easy to see with the naked eye and easy to cherrypick. But the DDR has an "extra" feather located between the 1st and 2nd left most feathers. As one person noted, almost looks like a typeII was struck over a type I. I will try to post additional pics later on this week. Thanks for looking and make sure you look at all your 59 Franklin halfs....you could find a gem! Good luck. :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
