Don't business strikes have type B reverses?

Don't business strikes have type B reverses? I believe I've read that. I had that in the back of my mind when I saw the perch the eagle sits on. I think it's a bit different. Will look into it more. |

C'mon guys, business strike? Look at the detail on the coin. The upper hair, and the eagle on the reverse would never attain that much detail on a business strike

Sorry, I meant to say: Don't "some" business strikes have type B reverses?

Looks like a cleaned business strike to me.

Type B reverses were used on proof coins from 1937 thru 1964.
From 1956 to 1964 some left over proof reverses were used for business strikes

Definitely proof, will probably be a lot more obvious in hand. The toning, in combination with the angle it was shot at isn't giving a good representation of the mirrored fields. That obverse strike is certainly proof.... Quote:

Very sharp, uniform strike, and the way the devices meet the fields is a great indicator of a proof. And those tail feathers....... |
