    Here's a quarter I found at a show today. I at first thought it was a proof, but then compared it to an actual proof and it didn't look like it. (The dealer marked it BU). It has all the type B diagnostics, but I'm wonder whether it's a mislabeled Proof or a circ. strike. I paid $6.

    Could it be the elusive circulation strike with the Type B reverse?
