This reverse is very similiar to the silver type B of 1937-1964. One difference is that the tail feathers of the eagle now have centerlines added in relief similiar to the other clad quarters of this era. Another difference is that if you pinch the coin between the fingers (not recommended for proofs and BU), you can detect that the breast of the eagle is higher than on a normal clad. Clads are in lower relief than the old silver quarters.

These clad B's can be found on some 1968 S and all 1970 S, 1971 S and 1972 S.
They can also be found on a few 1969 D and a very few 1970 D, 1971 D and 1972D.

I have a feeling that there is very little interest in these at the monent as compared to the silver issues.
If you have any sympathy for my cause, please vote aye. Thank you.
