I didn't even think about them being proofs. That's too bad; they're severely impaired in this condition. However, that pretty much proves the theory that they came from someone's collection. There was a 1944 and 1955 found with them (not proofs).
Are there any varieties for these I should be looking for?
Thank you for the help.

isn't there a type 1 and type 2 reverse for Washington quarters? not sure if that applies to proofs or not but I'm pretty sure there are two types of reverse' on Washington quarters they all look like type 2 to me I think except maybe the first 61 you posted but its a bit blurry. that could be good but I'm not really sure but I think I remeber people like the type two better for some reason I forget why . Maybe you should look that up or keep asking till someone that knows for sure responds! |

They are all proofs IMO. The prooflike Type B reverse is found on the business strike coins of these years. Like the proof coins, they'll have a gap between the e and s of STATES and the noticeably more pronounced leafs and tips above the a and r of DOLLAR. In my experience, the actual proofs still have way more of a mirrored surface than the type b's, making it pretty easy to differentiate the two.

The type b reverse was made using a discarded proof die on a business strike coin.
