<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 298452, member: 5454&quot;]Brrr. Below freezing tonight.&nbsp; Stoked the woodstove and now it&#039;s storytime kiddies.&nbsp; Been doing a bit of reasearch on the type B quarter.&nbsp; Seems the mints used worn out proof dies on the reverse of some quarters.&nbsp; Significant characteristics are a space between the letters E and S of States and a leaf on the left of the arrow tips that goes up above the points of the arrows. Well maybe I have one and don&#039;t know it?</p><p>So I looked at the reverses of all my quarters in my Dansco.&nbsp; Easy enough to do that.&nbsp; Nope no type B.</p><p>Then moved to a roll I got from an old lady up in Massachusetts.&nbsp; Bingo.&nbsp; Found what I believe to be two 1963 P type B quarters.&nbsp; What I didn&#039;t do yet is pull all the quarters out of my two Whitman folders to look at the backs.</p><p>Anyway here is a pic of the space between the letters E and S in the word states:</p><p><img src="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa127/ragtag_01/000_1667.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And in this shot you clearly see a leaf on the left extending up past the arrow tips:</p><p><img src="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa127/ragtag_01/000_1668.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please let me know if you think this is not a type B.&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
