<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2208321, member: 13307&quot;]One easy diagnostic to distinguish Type B Proof Reverses hasn&#039;t been shown in photos thus far, so I&#039;ll add two images of 1956 quarters:</p><p><br /></p><p>1956 Washington Quarter (Type A or Normal Reverse)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]431108[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1956 Washington Quarter (Type B or Proof Reverse)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]431109[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>OP&#039;s coin</p><p>[ATTACH=full]431111[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Note the much sharper corner on the eagle&#039;s left wing tip (viewer&#039;s right.)&nbsp; On Normal Reverse quarters, it will be noticeably weaker, fading into the fields in varying degrees, depending on strike.&nbsp; With many photos of Washington Quarter reverses like the Type A (including my own, probably taken quite some time ago) the light isn&#039;t always in the best position to show proper detail for the STATES or Leaf/A of DOLLAR connection.&nbsp; However, that sharp corner is usually a dead giveaway of a Type B Proof Reverse.&nbsp; The OP&#039;s coin is clearly not a proof or Type B reverse (you can also easily see that the Leaf/A connection isn&#039;t there.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
