<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2014754, member: 70703&quot;]1964 and earlier proof washington quarters are identified by being minted in Phili and having the B reverse design ( <a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Quarters_Type_B_proof_reverse.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Quarters_Type_B_proof_reverse.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Quarters_Type_B_proof_reverse.jpg</a> ).</p><p><br /></p><p>This quarter you have pictired is a standard reverse design A ( <a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Quarters_Type_A_Business_reverse.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Quarters_Type_A_Business_reverse.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Quarters_Type_A_Business_reverse.jpg</a> )</p><p><br /></p><p>The Wexler link you provided said nothing of proofs being minted in 1964 at all three mints. There are known examples of the reverse design C being used in 1964, but they are rare. Again your quarter above doesn&#039;t exibit the pick up points for the C reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>A caveat to proof reverse quarter designs is that starting in 1957 through 1964 the mint used less worn proof dies (reverse design B) to mint business strike quarters, thus producing two posible varieties of business strikes for these years. Again your quarter doesn&#039;t have the markers for the reverse B design.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the &quot;proof like&quot; look, as [USER=15929]@19Lyds[/USER] mentioned, coins minted from young dies for sure created coins with much stronger strike characteristics, which can look proof like with very smooth surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll add that I&#039;ve never heard of any proofs being minted in Denver ever. Only SanFran and Phili.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
