<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1177186, member: 5233"]So, Philadelphia quarters from 1956-64 had 2 different reverses.

This reverse is found on ALL proofs during these years...but only a small number of business strike coins. Since the coin shown here is a proof...it could only have 1 type of reverse, and that is the type "B."
