Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 01/12/2010 01:29 am I was pleased to find this quarter in a small lot of "junk" silver I bought recently. It appears mint state, probably about MS-62. It occurs to me the inexpensive silver proof quarters from the early 1960's might be passed off as the Type B reverse business strikes. According to the price guides at least, the Type B coins are worth more than an average proof. This coin does not have prooflike surfaces, so I presume it is a legitimate business strike.

Hope this helps. http://boards.collectors-society.co...mber=3706349 * I've found one 1964P . The best indicator to me is the wide gap between the E&S of States on the Reverse. On a normal business strike reverse, these 2 letters are practically touching each other. Edited by chuckster 125 01/12/2010 07:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 01/13/2010 12:39 pm Coppercoins, there are quite a few threads on the Type B reverses in the CCF archives. Here is one: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...&whichpage=1 Retail price guides like Coin Values and Coin Market (from Numismatic News) now list the Type B coins. They are shown to be worth substantially more than the normal silver Philly quarters. The 1962 for example is valued at about $60 in MS-60, compared with $4 for the normal reverse. I doubt however that you can find ready buyers at the stated retail values! Report this Post to the Staff
