  Same here. Sent a CBH in not long ago for variety attribution. It was logged in on a Monday and shipped back to me by Friday of the SAME week!!
  
  I was VERY surprised and needless to say quite happy.

  Ken,
  What can you tell us about these? Like how did you find them?
  Good call on the Trueviews BTW.

  Swampboy,
  
  The 1957 quarter I won an auctionback in Nov 2003 on e-bay when I knew nothing about type B proof rev quarters. The 1964 I bought raw as a BIN on e-bay this last year and I had been looking hard for a MS coin after reading most of the threads here and also picking up a copy of the cherry pickers guide.
  
  I have read the 1957 is plentiful in type B but to this date this is now a pop 7 coin. I'm not sure why there are not more that have been made to date. What I liked about this 1957 is it appears to be from a mint set, but it is not as darkly toned as most I have seen. The 1964 I have search for almost daily on e-bay looking to find a nice MS example. To me, they seem to not be very common in higher grades.
  
  On a funny note to me anyways is the value for the 1957 before the Var cert was $250.00 and after the PCGS guide is only $300
  the 1964-D Kennedy was in a PCGS holder with "Triple Die" on the label which was miss attrib and valued @ $275.00 as I recall, but now the guide says $100.00 I think more of these type var coins need to be made and sold then we my see the true values in the PCGS guides, JMO.

  I walk in to a BM yesterday and he was looking at some 1964 and I was going to cherry pick him but I just could not do it. So I said that one there is a type B he look at me and said how do you know and I let the cat out of the bag but he did give me some roll for the help that was nice of him. Ya you have some nice type B's there.
