Silver Washington Quarter Fans/Variety fans what is your opinion on this?

As mentioned in my Cherrypicker, Vol. 2 post of today, I looked through a roll of 1958 P MS Quarters and found that 35 of the 40 coins were of the "Type B" reverse mentioned, discussed and pictured in the new Cherrypickers.

How common or uncommon is the 1958 P Type B variety Washington Quarter. Did I hit the jackpot or is this a yawner?

    As a rule, I price Type B quarters at $2 more than regular quarters if they are nice.

    Good question. In essence these Type B reverses are the equivalents to other series' being struck with Proof dies.

    What are the diagnostics/differientiators between the type B and the type A?

    Robertpr, I can not describe the difference in the types on a key board. The new Cherrypickers has a section that discusses the different reverse types and pictures of the different types. If you see a copy of the book, take a look.

    Also, type in "Cladking" in your search box. Prior posts will come up, including one where I asked Cladking to described the differences in the reverse types. He responded to that post with helpful information.

    By the way, TTT for anyone else who might want to repsond to this post. Thanks.

  • SanctionII,
    Type B reverses don't carry a lot of premium and if memory serves me correct the Type B reverses are as follows;
    The left upright in the N in Unum is crooked and the arrow points are all covered by the leaf, also the leaf above A in dollar is stronger and attatched to the letter.

    Someone correct me if my memory is wrong.
    Hope this helps. image
