Just found this 1964P Washington quarter with the TypeB or Type 2 Proof Reverse.

I didn't know these even existed until last night- I was surfing the Net and ended up reading an article by Mr David Lange, NGC Research Director on 6/1/2005.
*HUB GAMES: WHEN PROOF DIES ARE USED TO STRIKE COINS FOR CIRCULATION*

He mentioned in the article the familar ones like the 1992D, 1998,1999,2000 LMC ETC. but further on in the article he mentions about Washington quarters from 1956 to 1964 currency strikes from the Philadelphia mint are known with either a TypeA or 1 and a TypeB or2
Reverse normally reserved for Proofs.

He goes on to describe that the type B is easily recognized:Letters "ES" in States are separated by a gap, and the overall relief is a bit higher. (ETC)

He also has a nice paragraph about the 1964D also having a Type C Reverse which exhibits very sharp tailfeathers.

Anyway I decided to re-check my Silver Quarters from 56 to 64 and ended up finding a 1964P Type B Reverse Proof!

The first 2 pics are a normal 1964P reverse Type A
The rest are my coin.

Yep. They carry a small premium. 56 is the hardest to find.

The 1964D Rev C is actually tougher than the 1956 Rev B

I think it the area you in I can get a roll of GW silver roll in Alabama and find 2 or more 1956 in a mixed date roll. up north+ to the west may harder.
I know here the hard one's are 57+61&64 P&D

Thanks!- Like I said- up to a few nights ago I didn't even know about these being out there- always nice to expand your knowledge of Numismatics!

I've already gotten hooked on VAM's- (Thanks NGiles!)

I found out about Rev B (1956-1964) and Rev C (1964D) quarters last Sept. and I have been chasing them ever since. Getting harder & harder to find now that more people are finding out about them. Keep looking, they're out there.

I should have looked before I posted. I bought two 61-P mint sets today and both have Type B quarters in them. Cerrypickers lists them at 150.00, has anyone realized this sort of premium?
