    Looks normal to me what do you mean by (transitional error?).

    That would be a wrong planchet in this case, clad vs silver, silver vs clad.

    Some 64's were made from the clad die reverses meant for the 65's. Not all the quarters dated 1964 were minted in 1964, some were minted in 1965 and the wrong (clad) reverse was used. I don't recall the differences but someone here will.

    it looks very much silver to me.
    Does it way 6.25 grams? Or the normal 5.76 for clad?

    Thats the right way to check, although I'm sure this is not a transitional error.

    Transitional reverse would be Type C. Type B coins have the reverse of the proof coins and were used in many different years.

    You didn't understand. Some 64's were struck with the clad reverse DIES. They are silver but struck with the wrong die.

    Yes, I took it the wrong way on this one.

    I know about the die differences, just to me I think of the 44 steel cent when I hear transitional error.

    The easiest way to tell which reverse that your coin has is to compare the reverse of your coin to a known example.

    For the type B reverse, compare it to the details of a proof coin of the same year or era.

    For the Type C reverse, which is much easier for me to tell, just use the actual reverse of a 65 or later quarter to compare your quarter to. You will immediately notice the difference in the eagle's tail feathers and especially the definition of the leaves on the olive branch.

    Edit to add: the '64 D is the only Washington quarter to be found or known with the reverse of the next year. With literally millions of P mint coins minted at the same time, collectors have tried for decades, me included, to find a P mint coin with a Type C reverse. I have 5 D mint coins with the Type C that I've cherry picked through the years.
