    Looks like a polished circulation strike.
    Still a great roll find!

    It is definitely a type b.

    I believe all the silver 1960's proof WQs were reverse B examples, but it has been a while since I read up on this topic.

    All proofs are type B’s. The reverse proof dies were inadvertently or purposefully used on some circulation strike coins from ‘56 to ‘64 and harder to find ‘68-d to 72-d. You could also call these “proof reverse” for the circulation strike coins.

    Remember our friend proofartworkoncircs? RIP. He was an expert on these and other proof reverse coins - hence the name! I believe cladking is the resident expert now.

    Yes this is true.
