<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2434866, member: 24314&quot;][USER=69760]@iPen[/USER], Think it out.&nbsp; The mint is striking Proofs and they wish to get &quot;fresher&quot; Proof dies.&nbsp; They replace the dies.&nbsp; We know they used the reverse die to strike MS coins.&nbsp; What do you think they did with the used obverse Proof dies? </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I know, no one has bothered to record the diagnostics for the Proof obverse dies used on the Type B quarters.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen hundreds of these (I collect them when they are &quot;cherries&quot; in a top grade).&nbsp; I for one never bothered to check the obverses either.</p><p><br /></p><p>With more research (I&#039;m not going to do it), we can probably prove that the Proof obverse and reverse dies were used together and paired with normal obverse dies.&nbsp; So three different varieties SHOULD exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
