1956 Franklin Half $ 0

[MESmagner]

I have a 1956 graded (PF66) Cameo Franklin Half $. It does not state if it is a Type 1 or type 2 on it. How can you tell what type it is? How do I get it changed to the proper grading?

Go by the Eagle on the reverse.

If there are four feathers left of the perch, it is Type 1

If there are three feathers left of the perch, it is Type 2

NGC did not distinguish between the two reverse types until about 20 years ago, and your coin was certified prior to that time. You may submit it to NGC for VarietyPlus attribution of the reverse type for $15.

Looking at the coin, left side tail feathers, Type 1 have 4 narrower tail feathers.  Type 2 coins have 3 thicker tail feathers.
