<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1120258, member: 18157&quot;]There are other diagnostics, but the two I find to be easiest to spot are the E/S spaceing as you mention and the whether or not the leaf fully cover sthe arrow tips or not. In case someone reading this isn&#039;t familiar with Washington quarter Type-B reverses, from 1956 to 1964 the Philadelpia mint would use proof dies for business strike coins when the dies were no longer useful for proof strikes. The easiest way to verify a Type-B reverse is to compare it to a proof.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Type-Bs are fun to collect because some dates are relatively easy to find. They represent about 5% of the overall population. Some dates, like the 1959, are easy to find in Mint sets while other dates are found almost exclusively in rolls. Some dates are rarer than others...with the 1956 being the most difficult to find (imho).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
