I cherrypicked this for $6.61. There's a nick at the corner of his mouth and reeding contact marks on his neck. Otherwise she's a beauty!
Congratulations! It is a nice coin. With this said, it technically is a die variety and not an error coin.
Educate me here (and others who stumble on this thread). I've heard of quarters with the type b reverse. Is it just this date or other dates too and how do you tell the difference between the reverses?
Ok so I educated myself (at the link below my pics) then went looking of coarse and found that I have one! It's not as rare as your 61 but hey for something I didn't know I had its sweet. Thanks for the nudge to educate myself on this Jay http://m.washingtontype-b.com/site/..._admin=0&fw_sig_tier=1&fb_sig_network=fw#0312
Who ever said this was an error. I didn't. It's technically a reverse design variety. Per CONECA, RDV-002 to be exact. Don't get me wrong, because I'm picky about the terminology to, but do you point this out to everyone who posts a DDO, DDR, MPD, RPM, OMM, trail die, or any other variety in the error sub forum? There isn't a die variety sub forum.
I simply thought your post might get more attention if in the U.S. Coin forum area as opposed to the section on error coins since the Type B coins have a fairly strong following. I was trying to be helpful. In any event, I do think the moderators should address the issue and create a variety forum or rename it "error or variety" as it only butchers the terminology and creates confusion for newer collectors.
I agree completely. I'm a member of 4 forums. 2 have separate forums for varieties & errors and 2 don't. I like them all equally, but it does cause some confusion for new members who think die varieties are errors because the "error coin forum" is filled with, "Is this a doubled die?" threads. Heck, I'm picky about using correct terms for myself. I started it here because I collect varieties more than regular coins and I hardly go to any other sub forum.
