littleboy Pillar of the Community United States 764 Posts	Posted 08/23/2007 02:40 am I'm getting close to my 2000th coin in my personal collection so I went fishing into my "junk" to try to find varieties to add. i found a 1963 type B reverse with beautiful doubling on all the letters, both wings, several leaves, and the arrows. then, I found a 1946 Roosevelt dime. some of the obverse features differ from other 1946 dimes. I looked it up and learned that the dies were modified to strengthen the design. last, I have a MS64 1959 FBL (almost) Franklin half that, after taking a closer look, was struck with a proof reverse die, similar to the type b quarters in the same years. now, after adding these three, the count is at 1,993.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/28/2007 11:48 am livingdinosaur, "type B reverse" is a reference to Washington quarters. On some years, a few business strikes were accidentally minted with a reverse proof die, hence the type B. These are generally rarer than the regular business strikes but they have kind of been sleepers over the years and are just starting to gain in popularity. Report this Post to the Staff
