Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 02/13/2020 3:44 pm It appears to be type 1 as there are four feathers to the left of the perch. Type 2 only has three feathers to the left of the perch. Both reverse types were used intermittently during that year but the type 1 is less common than the type 2. Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 02/13/2020 5:23 pm From the VARIETY VISTA Site: http://varietyvista.com/11%20Frankl...arieties.htm Additional Info: http://www.franklinlover.yolasite.c...Proofs%20RDV A Franklin Proof for 1963: All Reverse's should be a TYPE 2. No Type 1 is listed for 1963 PROOF Franklin half dollars. Are you certain your coin is a PROOF 1963 and not a high Mint State Franklin? If it is a proof, you have a possible rare coin-(IMHO).

Moosieweed88 Valued Member United States 135 Posts	Posted 02/13/2020 9:39 pm I honestly dont know anything about it I got it from a estate sale and it has that chrome milky whiteish look to it. It matches my proof 61 and my business strike Franklin's have that metallic color like cupronickel Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 02/14/2020 12:51 pm Can you please post a closeup of the Eagle on the reverse of your PROOF 61 Franklin? I would like to compare pics of the eagles on both coins. This should help in determining if your 1963 is a proof or a Mint State Business Strike coin. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
