Hi all, Am entering my meager collection of 1932-64 Washington quarters into Numista which mentions a Type A and B reverse. There is no information on that page detailing what the different types are.  Can someone please provide this information or post a link? Thanks |

Maybe a little less snark @ussid? Please.

You can't be that sensitive Spence, are you?

Thanks for the replies. USSID18 - Try putting aside the snide comments. They are not becoming of a "Pillar of the Community". FWIW - Google will show different results based on geographic location. As it relates to US coinage, you are going to see more relevant results using US Google that AU Google. After looking at several results I figured I'd get the answer quicker by posting a question to the US Coin forum. Perhaps one of your standing can explain why a search for "Type A" in the US coin forum in Coin Community returns no results? |

Once you see a Type B in hand next to a Type A or C, you will be able to tell them easily by the distance between the E and S in STATES. The A and C take a little more study, but the references posted by USSID are good.

USSID18 - Try putting aside the snide comments. Jeeezzz, you guys are really fragile! It's not meant to be snide, it's meant to help guide you to be independent and self reliant. Doing your own search helps build confidence and independence. If I was going to be malicious, snide and rude I wouldn't have posted links to help you. BTW: You're welcome for the links!!

That is actually one of the reasons why I detest terms such as larger and closer. Always prefer absolute measurements. As you indicated, can be easy when you have both specimens in hand but with just 1 specimen and never having seen other types it can be very frustrating. |

@ussid, it is very hard to assess someone's intent from a seven word sentence, but yes I guess that I am that sensitive. As to your argument that you can't be both helpful and snide, I don't agree with that. I think that you were both and that isn't ok here at CCF.

Totally agree however one has to balance time taken against results. In this case, initial searches weren't providing the desired results so posting a question was a more efficient use of my time. And yes, your links were what I was after.  |

...never having seen other types it can be very frustrating. I remember going through this when first searching some old rolls. Then all of a sudden a B appeared and there was no mistaking it. I don;t know why, but I remember the first thought that came to mind was, "well an ant could easily crawl through that opening (the E&S)!" Now I am stuck thinking that when I find one! When I found the one and only C I have, I was searching through some rolls my Dad used to have. I could not tell why, but the REV of one of them just looked odd to me although I could immediately tell it was not a B. |

I'm going back thru my Dansco 32-64 set and double checked it again. This will be my 6th or 7th time I "double" checking it. I'm never convinced I don't have something significant in my collect and knowing it. Like the time I pulled a 39-S DDO out of the album. It was in there for years! I never really looked close at it because it came out of a straight graded slab!  Edited by USSID18

I'm not the most prolific collector by any means, and Washington quarters aren't in my repertoire. But still, I had never heard of the different reverses on these. I guess I need to go back through mine now and check. Thanks for the post - one reason I really appreciate the CCF. |

For a visual comparison, you can look at the ES on proof coinage and business strike to see the diffferences as well.
