I know the Silver B reverse quarters of 1956 - 1964 have been the subject of several threads here. But how many of you actually have any of the Clad B reverse quarters from 1969 D - 1972 D? I would dearly love someday to have a complete set of B reverse quarters but that may be pipe dream given the apparent rarity of the Denver clad coins? They appear to be rare enough that there really isnt much of a market for them right now because no one knows about them or has any. Will there ever be a market for them or are they too rare for their own good? Thoughts?

I have one of each in slightly circulated condition. Years ago, two folk down South has complete sets in circulated condition.
At the moment there are 57 ebay entries for silver clad B quarters and not one clad. I have heard of one clad B being offered in the last 2 years and another one being cherrypicked.
1969 D B are the most common and I would think a lot of folk would have them. I found 1 out of every 114.24 1969 D's as of 1988. I think my numbers slipped after that.
I could often tell the date and mint of a clad quarter by looking only at the reverse in the late '70's
and studied a lot of my misses. A lot of times it was just that the specimen had the wrong clues
but sometimes they had the wrong reverse. I saved the high grade ones of these from about '78
to '87.
I never found the dang pick up points though until Proofartworkoncircs pointed them out to me in
the early '90's and by then I was concentrating on other things.
I am keeping my eyes open for the rolls. I've checked most all of my BU rolls now and haven't come
up with a single specimen yet.

Do you have one to show us the "B" on a clad? I would like to see it for future cherry picking. Thanks, Type2.

Precisely!
<< <i> had put a few aside over the past couple years. The one pictured below is a pretty interesting one. Although my photo skills are terrible so it is very hard to see in the pic, it has a dramatic repunched mint mark and is the b reverse. I wish I could take better pics because the doubling of the D mintmark is strong when viewing through a loupe.
Maybe I misunderstood the post....but the pic does not look like a type "B".......?[/q
+1, not a B in that pic
Type"B"

As we've discussed previously you can't even find many coins to check any longer since attrition
has destroyed so many and the ones remaining are mixed in with billions of others. The percentages
of the type "b" are so low that it might be another couple years before I find a common one and the
tough ones aren't going to show up probably.
THe worst part of it is thatn the average grade of these coins is so very poor now days. The '71-D
is "nice" only about 20% of the time and then it's going to be worn down to VG/ F.
It's a shame I didn't pay a lot more attebntion back in the day.
Let's broaden the inquiry a bit. Besides cladking, dlmtorts and myself, is there anybody actively searching for them? Would anybody keep one if it fell in their lap? Has anybody seen any?
I think, at this point in time, serious collectors will have to consider circulated specimens.
Anyone have any updates to this? The clad Washington quarter Type B reverses are now called Type H by Cherrypickers.
I have a 1969-D type H found looking through pocket change a few years ago. I’ll try to post some pictures. Have never come across any others.
I just got interested in these from a post here on CU. Although I've had a collection of the Unc silver issues for decades (1956 is circ), I really stopped looking for them. With all the information here and on Variety Vista I'm trying to sort out what coins exist. My first jump into this area is a 1968 Proof Set with a Type B quarter for $8. They are probably very easy to find.
I have the 1969-D and 1970-D Type H quarters - still looking for the 1971-D and 1972-D
Picture?
I have the 2 shown in the pics at the top of this thread. Unc 1969-d and 1970-d. I also have a circ 1971-d. Never even seen a 1972-d type h.
Sorry, I don't have any pics to show, at the moment.
A user on Coin Community Forum posted about a 1972-D Type H, several years ago (w/ photos):
