These are all fairly low mintage. They weren't so hard to find in circulation back in 1973 because they comprised a fairly significant...
The early clad type "b's and the later type "d's are far far scarcer than the old silver type "b's especially in high grade. The clad can be...
Yes, those are all type "d's. The '79 is the toughest of these dates after '78 and account for about 5% of mintage, the '80 is around 12% and...
The relief is a little lower on the type "d". The second best PUP is the shape of the cross bar on the "Q" of "QUARTER". These are much more...
It is what it's purported to be and from the '20's or a little earlier. These are generally very inexpensive though.

Well... ...This is sort of true because of the vast numbers of coins in circulation and the relative difficulty in finding the few that have...
After my experience yesterday I'm not nearly so confident that the '73 reverse exists on the '74. Of course, these were just a couple rolls so...
Well, it took a while to find enough examples of the '73 and '74 reverses to make a good sample but I'm not sure what I was looking at when I...
Shoot. Let me get back to you on this. I have only one specimen of each at hand and one appears to be non-standard (poorly struck). It...
The die shop would have been pretty busy in 1974 ramping up production and working on new dies and die changes for the steel, aluminum and bronze...
The difference between the '73 and '74 reverse is very subtle and will appeal only to a specialist. On the '74 there are a series of little...
