I thought I read something a while ago about there being a variety where the 65 had the rev of a 64? is that correct? or I am thinking something different? thanks
I know 64's with rev of 65 exist so I would expect that 65's with rev of 64 exist as well. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the different hubs to tell you how to identify them.
There are 1964 D washington quarters wich have the reverse of 65. A design which was created in preparation for the harder clad planchets. http://doubleddie.com/286101.html There are also known 1965 washington quarters which were struck on the 90% silver planchets. https://www.coinworld.com/insights/...teve-roach-numismatics-collecting-hobby.html# Two of the more rare varieties in the Washington quarter series.
Yeah, it's interesting. 1964 dated U.S. coins, especially the silver coins were actually made up to march 1966, still with the 1964 date on them, so no one can ever really know for sure what year your 1964 dated dime, quarter, or half dollar was made. This was by government to prevent silver hoarding. Didn't work, obviously. Ha, ha!
Not that they objected to silver hoarding per se. I think the idea of this provision was just to avoid a sudden, econony-damaging shortage of coins for commerce, of either composition. Put out both types until assured that the supply of clad alone is enough to carry the day's trade.
