<p>[QUOTE="jake1932, post: 3117254, member: 91934"]I vote 1964 business strike with Type B reverse (struck with reverse proof dies). The obverse of your coin does not have a proof appearance (it looks like a business strike). Business strikes (or those meant to spent in circulation) have a graininess in the fields (like yours) versus mirror fields of the proof coins. The reverse of your coin has a space between the E and S in states. If you look at any silver quarter (32-64), (that is a business strike not a proof) the E and S are practically touching on business strikes. And the boldness of the leaves above the LL in dollar on your coin indicate proof die characteristics (the leaves above LL on business strikes are very faint). I looked at PCGS coin facts at the SMS 1964 and it has a type 1 or business strike reverse (with the close E and S i described above). That rules out SMS I think. Anywho... thats my vote. Nice Coin. If you Ebay the type B 1964 you will see that they are selling quite cheaply compared to the prices listed in coin price guides.... But thats just the way I see it!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
