These 2 Franklins are my recent acquisition. Thank you for your opinion.

Eagle on this 1959 is strong.

Hi Shatsi

From the pics ,, both coins look like 63's to me(unless some of the marks are on the holders) the 58 has a shot at 64,,I cant see the Bell Lines well enough for an opinion.

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.

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.

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.
