Question:
Is the RDV-002 a scarce find on a business strike ?
I.E.: 4 left wing feathers / high relief
I thought that it was only present on proofs.
Stock photo below of it.
Mine is exactly the same except for the fact that
it is an EF maybe low AU grade so just the chest feathers
are worn some otherwise the same. Will do up some shots of the coin if worthwhile to do so. Thanks.

All set. Got my answer from Wexler.

"The circulation strike Franklin half dollars from 1956 through 1963 can be found with both the Type 1 and the Type 2 reverse. The Type 2 is much scarcer than the Type 1, but that is not a surprise since they most likely originate from reused proof dies just like the Type B circulation strike Washington quarters for the same time period."

Well, at least I got a decent variety now on the franklins
besides the toothy ones :)
