These 2 were in 4 rolls of junk quarters I recently purchased. Nice treat finding these. Out of 160 Quarters in the lot 58 were 1964 so I am surprised at the odds. Terrible grading quarters and opinions certainly welcome on grade. Notice the die crack that runs horizontally along bottom of bust on both examples. Thanks for looking.   |

Nice find! Not the best pictures but those are some nice examples. A little acetone might clean them up a bit. I can see hair curls and breast feathers. Those die crack are common on these things. EF+

Finished going through the lot of 160 quarters and these other 4 type B reverses were in them. Pretty decent score 6 Type B's out of 160 isn't bad, pretty ruff shape on these 4. How scarce are these? Or do people just miss them?   |

A couple of years ago, CoinWeek had a 3 part article on The TYPE B Proof Reverse Washington quarters of 1956-1964. Part 3 gave the author's opinion on rarity. I had five rolls of Ag Washingtons stashed away and had never searched them for this variety. Out of my 5 rolls, 69 quarters were 56-64 Philadelphia's. These two were Type B reverses   |

Can you give us a side by side comparison A vs B. I'm having trouble seeing the differences.

The easiest way to spot the difference is to look at the gap between the E and the S in states. The normal business strike reverse is Type A with the narrow gap. The Type B reverse has a wider gap. You can also look at the leaves at the tip of the arrows and above the A in Dollar. There's an excellent document by Jose Miguel Gallego that goes into all of the reverse die varieties of the Washington quarter.   Edited by BadDog
