<p>[QUOTE="NotSure, post: 762778, member: 20034"]These Type B reverses can be found on silver P mint '56-'64 Washingtons. The '56 is the rarest, followed by the '62, then the '61 (all have pops in double-digits). The price guide prices can be thrown out, as these have just started to appear in guides, and not all years are listed (at least at PCGS...NGC doesn't attribute them yet). A 1956 and 1961 Type B in PCGS MS64 went for $175 each on ebay recently. I have 2 '56 Type B's in MS65 (there are a total of 37 graded at PCGS, with 8 in MS65, 3 in MS66), and I wouldn't let my MS65's go for under $500...same with my '62 MS65 Type B's in MS65. </p><p> </p><p>While ANACS attributes them (both with the FS-901, as well as older slabs with the Breen #...escapes me at the moment), the ANACS slabbed coins bring a fraction of the PCGS slabbed ones. Pops have been growing steadily in the last year, but they are still rare. I have attached some images of 'markers' to look for when it comes to identifying these (though, the spacing between the bottom 'E' and 'S' in 'STATES' is the easiest, as there is a definite spacing between them on the Type B's...on Type A, there is virtually no spacing (bottom horizontal line of the 'E' basically connects with ther bottom of the 'S' on Type A....definitive spacing in that area on Type B). The other big one for me is the leaf near the 'A' in 'DOLLAR'. On the Type B, the leaf seems to be 'attached', or an extension of, the 'A' in 'DOLLAR', where on the Type A, there is a slight gap between the tip of the leaf and the top of the 'A' in 'DOLLAR'. These images were copied from another forum (can't remember which one, or I'd give credit where it's due).</p><p> </p><p>These can be cherried from NGC slabs, as I've seen more than a few in their slabs. You can find them in unattributed PCGS slabs as well. But, the popularity is fast growing, and cherrying an unattributed PCGS slab, or in an NGC slab is getting VERY tough. Also, those who know they have one in an NGC slab are trying to get all the money for them...same thing as with the unattributed examples in PCGS slabs. Naturally, sellers of ANACS slabbed examples try to get top dollar also, but crossing them from NGC, or ANACS is near impossible (usually 1 point lower...though there are a few cases they DO cross), as PCGS is VERY VERY tough on their grading of these.
