I was looking for Reverse B quarters today at the local coin show. Didn't find any circ pieces in any dealers circ silver quarters, but one collector brought me a raw BU 1958 piece that I bought from him. One dealer had a PCGS MS65 1958 quarter that turned out to be a Reverse B and I bought it.I didn't find any Reverse C pieces this time..

These varieties in the Cherrypicker's guide seem to be getting harder to find....

Could you please show the difference or provide a link for the Type A and B and describe what to look for? I would appreciate that very much.

Type A is the normal reverse for the 1956-1964 business strike quarters. Type B is the proof reverse. The Mint (probably for economic reasons) used the dies intended for proof coins struck business strike coins with the proof reverse dies. The easiest way to spot these coins is the separation between the bottom of the E & S in the word STATES. The Type C reverse is the reverse of 1965 and is only found on 1964D pieces. These coins can be identified by the split tail feathers. You can look at a 1965-1997 clad quarter and see the C reverse and the difference in the tail feathers. If you find a 1964D with the Reverse C it's worth at least $50 in VF grade and over $300 in MS65 grade. Check those silver quarters!!

I'm happy cherrypicking silver Rev B & C pieces. I'm not as interested in 1969-D - 1972D Rev B's. There not silver and not in the Cherrypicker's Guide.
