Need information on Type 'B' Washington Quarters

Dose anyone have any information on the type 'B' reverse quarters? I know the dates are from 1956 to 1964 and include both 'P' and 'D' mints. I found a few while searching silver quarter rolls. Is there a premium for them and if so, how much? Figuring the amount of rolls that I searched and what I found, it looks like maybe 1% are type 'B'.

Thanks
John

    From "The Complete Guide to Washington Quarters," by John Feigenbaum

    Reverse Hub B: 1936-1972

    Used on all proofs from 1936-1972 and inconsistently on business strikes from 1956 throught 1972

    Reverse Hub C: 1964-1974, 1977-Present (I assume until the SQ program)

    Found on most of the business strikes from 1965 through 1998 (again says present but book published prior to SQ program), although a small number of transitional pieces have been discovered dated 1964 with the B reverse. They are extremely rare.

    Based on this info, I suppose "variety specialists" my be willing to pay a premium; I don't know if there is a "set" premium. I imagine it would be based on how many potential buyers wanted it. I don't know of another publication that addresses this variety, but would be interested to know if you happen across one.

    Presently, this is the only info I can provide.
