3 Types Of Washington Quarter Reverses?

I am new to the reverse types myself , having just recently discovered the varieties when I got the second volume of The CherryPickers Guide.
From 1956 through 1964 check the P mint coins for type B reverse. Look at the space between the E and S in "States" they almost touch on a regular type A reverse. On a type B reverse there is a noticeable space between them- once you see the difference you'll be able to pick them out right away. The leaf at the arrow tips extends above the arrow tip slightly on a type B and the overall strike seems to have more detail than the type A counterparts from those years.
The Type C reverse is only on Denver mint coins from 1964 according to the CherryPickers Guide. I have yet to find on but from the book it shows a very distinct centerline on all of the eagles tailfeathers and the leaf at the arrow tips comes to a distinct point in front of the arrow tips.
The guide also recommends watching for type B reverses on Denver mint coins from 56-64, but none have been found yet. Good luck !

I actively collect all of the type B coins.

Don't believe the rarity in the Cherrypicker's guide, there's actually quite a few out there and I have at least 6 of each without really trying.

The years 1957, 1959, and 1961 are the hardest ones for me to find.
No luck so far on the type C! That one's a tough one.

Careful on the pictures in the Cherrypicker's guide, they put the wrong pictures in each of the pages.

Also careful on buying the coins on ebay. Half of the 'Type B' coins that I buy are actually proof coins.

This may help you its a 1956 B rev
very easy to find in this date for me.

I think it's beginning to come clear by putting together everything that's been said so far. So, the type B reverse was the same design used for proofs, but ended up on some business strikes. So, finding that rev on ANY business strike is a good thing! That rev is easy to spot, because the arrow tips appear to me to be embedded in the leaf.

And, if you find a type C on a 1964 coin, that's a better thing.

So, I guess I only now need a way to tell type C from A with a photo. They both seem to have the arrow tips back from the leaf, which is the confusing part, not to mention the mixed up pictures in the CP Guide. But the leaf on the type C is sharper, combined with distinct centerlines on the tailfeathers.

Type A's may be tossed into the junk silver pile.

Signed,
Not so muddled anymore.

Oh well !

No help to me. All of the 8 coins that I have left, are still type C
With the type A (ES) touching.
1964 P So it must be the type C with the 65 rev. ?
If thats true and then more valuable, I also wish I had
not dumped a couple dozen into the pile myself.

I think I'm sorry I read this post. I have never heard of any of this and was perfectly content, until now, with several complete Whitman Classic Albums from 32 to 98. Had to add extra pages. I will print this post out but will attempt not to go looking at my Quarter albums. Next I'll be afraid Whitman will hear of this and start making their albums with slots for all such types. Then naturally the Red Book will have pages devoted to these varieties. And just when I was so happy.

Well, well, well. I read this for the first time right after I going through $70 worth of quarters 2 days ago. It figures.
But that's what banks are for.

It's still up in the air, but the 1957, 1959, and 1961 have been the toughest one for me to find.

The blue price book has several dashes in the prices so they're not listed properly. Many that are listed are in the $20 range, with a few in the $75.
