    Type B Washington Quarter

    I am interested in collecting Type B Washington Quarters and have several at this time. I have a dealer trying to sell me a couple of what he claims are Type B Reverses minted in 1952 and 1955. In my limited experience, it was my understanding that this reverse was found on business strikes from 1956 -1964 and proof strikes from 1937 - 1964. Is my thinking wrong? Has this dealer come up with some rare coins or maybe they are proof coins that have been in circulation for a long period of time as they are probably in the class of VF at the very best. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

    Hi Bob - Your dates are correct, however, there is a slim possibility that these may be valid coins. They could be a type "B" that has yet to be found. If they have all the indications that they are a type "B", then yes it is possible.

      BJ...thanks for your response concerning the quarter reverses. I think if I can get the coins for a reasonable price it would be worth taking a chance on them. The coins do have the spacing between the ES in states. Thanks again.

        If both coins are circulated, the 52 and the 55 that is, be sure you are not paying for circulated proofs by having the coins examined by an expert! These circulated proofs are KNOWN to exist.

          I've decided to pass on either of the coins. Two reasons: PRICE and DOUBT!!
