shatsi Pillar of the Community United States 1541 Posts	Posted 06/19/2006 12:20 am Hi Rick, The bell lines are faint, the eagle is strong. I thought the 1958 would be a Type 2 since the eagle is strong. Thank you for your opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

shatsi Pillar of the Community United States 1541 Posts	Posted 06/19/2006 06:54 am Rick, I'm sorry I mixed it. I'm talking about the 1959. The 58 is very weak. I'm attaching a picture of the 1959 eagle. Image: 1959 feathers.jpg 77.72 KB As for the number of feathers, I have no idea. The Franklin book that I have does not say anything about the number of feathers. In 1959 the strong eagle was common where as in 1958 only 20% was strong eagles. Report this Post to the Staff
