Yes these are shot through 2x2 and out of focus. I am mostly seeking conformation that these are type b, and if you could a rough guess on grades. Also, what is the value of these and should they be slabbed. 1960 Obverse  1960 Reverse  1961 Obverse #1  1961 Reverse #1  1961 Overse #2  1961 Reverse #2  Also, what is the rarity on these and which date is the most rare? Thanks |

No replies, are these not type B and you are scared to tell me?

Thanks, I got some 2x2 today, so I can creak these out of the ones they are housed in and take better pictures. I just didn't want them running around free for too long.

Tough to tell by pics but the 1960 looks like a type b and maybe the second 1961. The first 1961 image is too blurry to tell.

I'd say definite Type B on all three coins. You need to be sure you don't get fooled by proofs labeled as mint state pieces; the proofs often have weak mirrors making them look like MS coins. It can be hard to tell. These are cool coins but don't seem to have much of a premium in the real world. I've offered a Type B 1957 quarter graded NGC MS-66 several times on ebay for $70 but it received no bids. Retail price guides have this coin at $125 in MS-65 which is obviously pretty optimistic. I offered a 1962 Type B in EF which sold for about the same price as a normal coin. The high prices in the retail guides make the Type B coins look like cherry-picking winners but it's not easy finding anyone who really wants them. |

They are all type B's.
Looks like a couple Unc's.
The 1956 is the scarcest followed by I believe
the 61 but not positive on that one.
HarveyP will chime in on these soon for you.
Right Harvey ? :)
They ran from 56 through 64
Don't forget to look for the even more elusive
1964-D type C (reverse of 1965)
Also be aware that some worn proofs could be
confused with a business strike type B as the type B
is actually a proof reverse to begin with.

hi. never heard of the type B quarter until now thanks for the info . But am I right in thinking that all 1956-1964 proofs are type B ? And its only the business strike type B that is the ones that are rare ? I know this is a lot of questions but could someone shade some light on the 1964 type C thanks a lot for any and all info

I am pretty sure these are all business strikes. they don't have rims like proof and they have a lot of cartwheel. So any guess on grade? So not much value on these, what about to a dealer?

From what I can tell from those pics,the last one only seems to be a "B". By the strong detail in the tail feathers! I could be wrong?Need better shots.to tell. Nice though.  Edited by joeykoins
