Washington type B reverse

[GKoehl]

Does any one know of a publication which will provide values for the 1956 to 1964 type B reverse? I have found four and wonder if it is worth the cost of encapsualization and certification. three arre MS and one is AU50.

The Cherrypicker's Guide, Edition # 4, volume II does list the Washington quarters with Type "B" reverse. Prices run from $50.00 to over $100.00 depending what year it is and of course condition.

I checked that reference (Cherrypickers #4), but discounted the info provided when it classified the type B as URS 4 rarity factor. I find it hard to believe the rarity factor of four when I found four in my personal coin holdings. That made me skeptical of the values and prompted the inquiry into other publications.

Many thanks

The silver type B business strike reverse quarters are much more common than thought. The only one which is difficult to find in mint state is the 1956. I usually recommend an estimated value at 2x-3x trends.

I've got a question to. Who will certify type B's? I know neither NGC nor PCGS will.

I would be surprized if NGC and PCGS won't slab them. They are in the CPG and I believe both will slab CPG varieties. ANACS and ICG will also slab them.

I know for a fact that neither NGC nor PCGS will recognize the type B's when asked why, I received no reply.

I stand corrected, you know, though, I personally don't see how they can tell the difference, The Business strike and the proof side by side look identical.

[JamesWiles]

The differences are fairly easy to tell. The proof style has the leaf in front of the arrow points extendend above them while the business strike does not.
