Just got back from the local coin show. Went through over $500 in silver quarters. Found the following Reverse B quarters: 1957 VF, 1957 VF, 1958 XF, 1960 VF, 1963 XF, 1963 XF, and the best find, 1964D Reverse C AU!
On 1956 through 1964 quarters,the Mint (whether intentional or not) used proof reverse dies to mint some of the buisness strike quarters. This proof reverse is known as the B reverse. Some of the buisness strike quarters were struck with this reverse, (no one knows how many) and are listed in the Cherrypicker's Guide and are worth a premium in Unc condition. The Reverse C quarter is the reverse that was intended for use in striking the clad 1965 quarters. The 1964D Reverse C is quite scarce and is worth about $75 in AU condition and a few hundred dollars in Unc.
Thanks for the explanation. I have some old quarters but I expect they are G or F at best. Still it will be fun to pull them out and have a look. I am hoping to get the new Cherry Picker's Guide when it comes out.
There are also Rev B quarters dated 1969d, 70d, 71d & 72d. I heard of them in the past but never looked for them. Someone listed a few on ebay this week and started the bidding at $100 and they already have bids on them.
