The photos are a bit fuzzy but this does look like the Type B reverse. The space between E and S in STATES appears wide and this is the easiest marker for spotting this variety.

The coin has luster but it shows signs of wear on Washington's neck and cheek and on the right eagle wing. Based on these images I'd call it AU-55.

agree with AU status...the breast feathers are worn off
still there is ample remaining luster on this attractive coin
AU-58

Are all of the proofs for 61 type 2 or type 1?

All of the proofs have the Type B reverse, the reverse only differs on the business strikes.

Thanks.I put a proof and a business strike together it looks as though the space between E and S in States is wider on the proof.
