Message:: [QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2555929, member: 13307"]Gentlemen, The Type A (normal) Reverse was used for normal business strike coins. The Type B (proof) Reverse came about when the Mint used proof reverse dies for some business strike coins from 1956-1964 (P only). EDIT: These are found with varying degrees of difficulty.  Most common I've seen are 1957 and 1959 (1959's are notoriously found in mint sets with the Type B Reverse Franklin Halves - again, using proof reverse dies.)  I have personally found at least 200 Type B Reverse quarters in various grades and various dates. The Type C (1965) Reverse came about when the Mint used some of the business strike reverse dies for the 1965 quarters on some 1964 D quarters. EDIT: These are extremely difficult to find.  I might own 5 of them so far (and will not sell them, even though I've had numerous offers to buy them if I ever change my mind.)  Coins in similar condition to the OP's coin will sell on eBay for at least $20 (depending on where the starting bid is set) and usually around $40-65 raw/circulated.  This is just from my personal observation. I'll find some photos if we can stop arguing...  I've found the previous link to be most unhelpful - pointing out minor details and ignoring the major differences.  Again, I'll dig up some photos for you in the next few minutes.[/QUOTE]
