I've been on a 'Type B' kick, and thought that this was a nice addition to my collection. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...130182391311 Is this a rare or common occurrence? Thanks!

Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 12/17/2007 11:51 pm What got my attention is that the reverse is not the typical Type B that you would see on a proof quarter, but the regular Type A. It's exactly the opposite of the regular 1956-1964 issue with the proof reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Its a $3.50 cent coin at most. It is a typical run of the mill UNC coin. No proof die involved at all. Sorry to say but you got ripped. Bill Report this Post to the Staff

garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 12/18/2007 02:20 am the good thing about it is that he auctioned it off as struck on proof die that is in the title. send it back and get your money back as a SNAD item you cant loose I wouldn't think anyway Gary Report this Post to the Staff
Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 12/18/2007 09:15 am I never thought this coin was struck by a proof die, but rather it looked like regular dies struck a proof planchet. Just the opposite of what he is claiming. If true, what would be the implications? A possible MS-66+ designation for a circulated quarter? Is that a rare occurrence?
