I know they are pretty plentiful, I've never owned one though. One of my LCS's had a customer come in and sell several quarter rolls for melt. Turns out they were all for some odd reason Type B rev !
Me do.
I will post some on this thread when I get a chance.
I've known about them for years and have bought and sold them as inventory when I did shows full-time and I've been one of the "original" WQ nuts, but this niche never excited me so I never incorporated one into my own collection.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
I've set aside 22 examples 1956 to 1963. All were culled from bulk silver purchases.
that's for the type A's
The Type B reverse quarters are a good set for someone just starting out with die varieties. As varieties go, they don't take too much searching to find and the pickup points are not too hard, so completing the set is within reach for most people unless they really lack the eye for it.
I have actively pursued them since 07... I made a large percentage of the 66's and a couple of the 67's out of a roll of 56 Washies I got from a dealer in Ocean City, NJ many moons ago.
I then moved on to Type H and the many RDV's thanks to ProofArtWorkonCircs. He helped me find and complete my first washington quarters RDV set from 56 to 72d... it was an awesome.experience
A fair amount of.people collect Type B...

Didn’t know much or anything at all about these until I read an article in CoinWorld l believe. So like anyone would, I looked through my loose, rolled, album and Mint sets and did find some of these type B quarters. Here’s one I found in a Mint set I own.
I've collected type Bs for several years. The 1956 is the difficult year but I've been able to cherrypick a good number and have, over time, had 5 that graded 66. They are common in 1959 and 1960 mint sets.
I've found a number of them graded and unattributed. For a number of years these weren't recognized by either PCGS or NGC so they occationally come up on ebay and other sites for all years, 56 to 64.
That's AWESOME ! I'm still searching for a '56. I will find one eventually
I asked your question around the office and out of about 24 participants, none collected them.
Hmmm.... I have multiples except for the '56 & " POSSIBLY " a 1964 type " C " ?
Thanks, I have more I just have to dig them out. I have some 56s in 65 and a 57 67+. None of my 56s received a 66 and they came from an original bank wrapped roll FWIW.
I am just missing the 1962. I missed one in an auction. Then another came up. But it was way too ugly, I had to pass. So, It has been the most elusive for me. I have 4-1957, with one being the MS66 CACG below. I have two 1958 quarters both ANACS, in a new and old holder. ICG is the only large TPG I haven't found a Reverse B yet. The rest are a mix of PCGS and NGC. ICG may attribute Reverse B quarters without a request from the customer. I guess the TPGs caught almost all of the 1962 Reverse B Attributions. My collection of unattributed Reverse B quarters is the bottom row in the drawer.
Easy to do; that's why it's a good beginner set.
I collect them as well. I also have not found the '56 Type B.

I had a set when I was playing in the registry. Another tough coin is the Type C 1964 D. Its easy to spot.
I bought this one unattributed. Poor pictures on ebay but I took the chance. I sent it in and had it attributed.
I have one that I bought raw on Ebay and submitted to our hosts years ago.
