Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 769801, member: 15929"]Folks, while the Type B (Proof Reverse) on the 56-64 Washington quarters are certainly a sought after prize, lets not forget the true rarities in this series. Specifically, the Type B Reverse on 1969-D through 1972-D Clad quarters. Given the attrition rate for clad quarters and the fact that clad quarters were poo-pooed from the git go, finding one of these will prove extremely difficult and financially rewarding! The only TPG which will attribute these is ANACS since PCGS will not attribute ANY new/old variety which is not in the CPG. New/Old meaning the variety has been known about for many years yet it appears new to the collecting community. As for the Type B's in 56-64? Folks are really searching for these and I expect their true scarcities will come out in the next 3 to 5 years since my experience has shown that once one of these brings some big auction returns, folks start checking their hoards and submit what they find. At one time, the 1964 was considered the big rarity and it commanded some very decent premiums. However, the PCGS populations took a big jump which then affected the prices. As Notsure pointed out, the 1956, 1962, and 1961 currently have the low pops. But that could change very rapidly. I've picked and puchased a good deal of these coins but the one coin which has proven the most difficult for me is the 1962.  I've yet to see a clad Type B though.[/QUOTE]
