Okay, I need some more education on this one. Took a while, but I finally noticed the difference on the Rev. Can't see any difference on the Obv. between a proof and one coined for circulation. Since the coin you displayed has seen some wear and proofs were coined in Philly that year, how can one tell it's not a proof that found its way into circulation

Here are the comparisons for the type B Proof Reverse

The type A circulation Reverse is a low relief the ES almost touch and the adjacent leaf extends only to the top arrow point,,

on the type B the relief is higher and the ES are apart the adjacent leaf extends above the top arrow point.

these type B reverse coins can be found on coins from 1956-64 .

This info is from Walter Breens encyclopedia of US coins.


Based on these descriptors, the pictured coin is a type B Reverse.
