While searching "junk silver", I found a 1963 Washington quarter in uncirculated condition. I remembered the three things to look for in a Type B Reverse:
1. A strong, pointed leaf tip.
2. The leaf tip extends over the arrows.
3. A small gap between the A and R in "Dollar".

All three of these are present on this coin, or at least I believe so. Do you think it is a Type B reverse?

Take a look at the following website for the diagnostics of the Type B. Two are different than your recollection, so more photos are needed yo be sure about yours. The E S in states and if the leaf touches the A in Dollar.

The maker I always check first for is the space between the ES on STATES as well:

Thank you Pete41 and coop. I checked my coin and the leaf does touch the A. There is also a larger than normal gap between E and S of States. I will take pictures tomorrow. Thank you for the help.
