<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 629651, member: 9474"]Has anyone ever heard of this variety? The other day, I was searching through some quarters that I am looking to sell when I noticed something odd about this quarter. So I started to look at it and quickly notice some unique properties of the coin. First thing I did was turn to the Cherrypickers guide. There was no mention of it there. Then, by pure luck, because I had been pricing these quarters, my price guide was turned to this page and there it was.....the 1956 Double Bar 5 variety. Only commands a few more bucks, but still neat to find. Coin would probably grade XF. Still some original luster on the coin and had it not been for all the hairline scratches, I would even say AU. Coin was found by my dad and given to me. So by all accounts, this has been in the family since my dad found it around that time period. THe pics are bad....really bad, but I finally got my computer back today and I was testing out all the accessories to make sure they worked and snapped some quick pics of the quarter. Any history or comments of this variety are welcomed. Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
