This is a variety to look for! On 1964-D washington's they accidently used a die that was produced for 1965. If you look at the tail feathers on the 1964-D, they are much "weaker" in appearance than the 1965. Also, notice the tips of the leaves. The 1965 is MUCH sharper on the tips than on the 1964-d. The regular issue for washington business strikes (circulating) was reverse style "A" and 1965 brought the reverse style "C". The proof issues had style "B", but that is for another topic.

Tough coin and good find. I believe that the proper classification for that coin is as a Transitional. It is a 1964 quarter with a 1965 reverse. Calling it a type C. rev. is a bit understated. Think about that collectors. I would like to find one!. Thanks for pics. Keep a pickin...G.

Mule refers to a coin which is struck using two dies that where not supposed to be used together on the coin. In a technical sense this could loosely be called a mule. However as the obv of the coin is unchanged from 1964 to 1965, that is an intended die pair to be used together as a pair but, not supposed to be used until 1965. It was just made in 1964 on silver. That is why I called it a Transitional (metal and dated) coin. Mules usually end up with a die pairing that does not see general production, nor where they intended to. Granted one could argue that the date of 1964 was not intended to be used with the 1965 rev. that year but alas, it was released as such... ie.. A production coin. Fine line I suppose however called.
Nice coins. I am still looking. Love them transactional coins. They be the rare production coins. G.

Correct that to read transitional coins, not transactional. Reading too much of the financial papers lately. Musta cooked me head a bit.

Has anyone ever seen or heard of a 1964 P Reverse C ? Breen has assigned a number to it, but its not in the new CherryPickers Guide. I just might dump out my bag of silver quarters again and look for it, if it does exist. |

Those of you who are looking for the type C reverse 1964D...check the eagle talons
the type c strike shows weakly struck talons...sharply struck on the type a
jm64d photo shows this quite clearly
also look for the bold tail feathers and bold leaves touching...good luck finding one they are very elusive
