So that's a total of (5) toned 1957 Type B reverses I have pulled out of these sets in the past month......none from any other 1956-1958 sets.....now the question is......is there any premium for these and do the TPGs notate this on the holders as a variety if requested?
Latest one....
I have only received one back so far from grading.....came back and NGC MS66 and what I can tell you already is that in almost every case....the obverse is fully PL which is probably already well known to the Washington collectors.....one can conclude worn proof dies were used for the obverse of these coins as well as the reverse...
and the others....
Personally I like them as the surfaces look great one these coins with brilliant PL finishes that make them drip with luster

Also looking for VF-EF Seated halves.
Sell me your old auction catalogs...
I do not know about NGC or the other grading services since just being in those slabs appears to be detrimental to any coin.
PCGS attribution would cost the crossover fees (for the NGC) and $20 each for attribution to FS-901. Basically, an Economy submission at $18 each with $20 attribution fee. A bit stiff IMO.
What I would like to see is, if PCGS is going to lavel Fivaz-Stanton numbers, why not put the Type B designation on the label as well?
As for premium's? These coins will definitely pull more than a regular Type A coin. How much really depends upon the bidders. Having the Mint Set Toning in conjunctiom with the Type B attribute is definitely a plus. If I were you, I'd spring for the grading as your coins are sure to bring strong money!
The name is LEE!
U.S. Type Set
Simply fill in your submission form with this number and get them crossed over, if you like.
Very nice coins!
Whaddaya think? The tailfeathers appear right, but I'm not 100% sure I know the difference yet.

They are called "Type B"/ Proof Reverse because the reverses look exactly like Proof Washingtons do!
Your label will look like this if you enter the correct number on the submission form.
Note the # on the label.
<< <i>I recently purchased a 57 mint set and had to double check mine as it never crossed my mind to look for the type B.

YES it is a type B. The type B the leaf touching the A in Dollar on the revers.
Hoard the keys.

NO Type B bear the D Mint mark!
Save this info as you will be hard pressed to find it elsewhere.
OBJECTION! A very few 1969 D thru 1972 D exist with the B reverse.
However, there are no known silver D B's and people have been looking for them for over 50 years now.

That's not a type B....the ES are close together in states and I don't see the Leaf anywhere near the A ......no way that's a type B but it looks like a very pretty toner so who cares
and
Yes, the D shown above is very nice.
The gap at the bottom of the letters between E and S in STATES is wider on the "B".
The leaf by the arrow points stick above them.
The leaf by A of DOLLAR merges solidly into the A.
Searching the forum for "type B" willl bring up a number of strings with information that should help you.
One that will not come up is my string on the 1970 quarter reverse varieties since "B" is not in the title.

This shows a 1970 D B and gives a discussion on the differences concentrating in the area of the arrow heads.
Hoard the keys.

man -those '57 quarters are the bomb - you got the halves to go with them ??
<< <i>PCGS will attribute them as FS-901 but the slab will not say Type B. >>
This is NOT SO, The PCGS certified Type B WILL DEFINITELY read "Type B Rev FS-901"
If need be I can retrieve a picture of any of those I made and auctioned within the past 60 days.
You pay the going rate for grading and attribution and the coin WILL read as such!
Oh and thus far I HAVE NOT seen any NGC Type B BUT I did see some that simply have a "T"
written behind the gade - but that's IT!
