<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 5390956, member: 18157&quot;]About 15 years ago (when silver was dirt cheap) I began hoarding OBW rolls of silver coins from the &#039;40s, &#039;50s, and &#039;60s. That&#039;s how I stack silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>My numismatic interest at the time was Half Cents. All my rolls just sat there, untouched until I read about Type-B (proof) reverses on some business strike coins from 1956-1964. I went back and searched. I found rolls that had as many as 50% Type-B reverses. [USER=9474]@jaceravone[/USER] can attest to this. I gifted him some of my nicer Type-B reverses.</p><p><br /></p><p>When mintmarks resumed in 1968, the quarter&#039;s MM was moved to the Obverse. I read where the Philadelphia Mint erroneously sent some of their 1969-1972 &quot;lightly used&quot; Proof dies (Type-B Reverse) to the Denver Mint...mixed in with their normal shipment of business strike dies. I&#039;ve only read about these coins&#039; existence, but I&#039;ve never actually seen one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went on a multi-year quest to find one. I purchased over 600 OBW rolls and searched them all...nothing. However, over that period of time, I got pretty familiar with Type-A, Type-B, Type-C, ect. reverses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a good diagnostic guide...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.heartlandcoinclub.com/Documents/Washington%20Quarters%20Reverse%20Design%20Varieties%20(RDV)%20From%20A%20to%20H,%20and%20Beyond.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.heartlandcoinclub.com/Documents/Washington%20Quarters%20Reverse%20Design%20Varieties%20(RDV)%20From%20A%20to%20H,%20and%20Beyond.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.heartlandcoinclub.com/Documents/Washington Quarters Reverse Design Varieties (RDV) From A to H, and Beyond.pdf</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
