mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 04/13/2024 06:06 am What happened with the type B quarters of 1956-1964 were proof dies used to strike business strike quarters at the tail-end of December for all those years to help the mint keep up to schedule on montage figures. Best way to tell a type-B reverse: the gap of the E and S of states are larger than on the regular strikes. All dates are hard to locate, with the 1956 and 1962 being the hardest to locate, and all dates have a premium in value from marginally more valuable to very valuable of course dependent on the condition or grade of the coin.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 04/13/2024 12:14 pm All proofs are type B. They used the dies to make circulation strikes, and those are the ones worth a premium. Here is a guide I made for Identifying these more easily using the ES gap and the tailfeathers. The arrows, leaves etc. are more confusing IMO.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96595 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 10:42 am seeing how they are of a normal strike, that was probably a good choice. Collecting since 1972.
