This is a 1964-D quarter. I always have trouble telling the difference between the hub types. Which one is this?
The first photo, which showed two normally good checkpoints, was not clear enough for me to make a judgement. A lighing adjustment might make a difference. There is a band in the shape of an "X" located between the eagle's feet tying the the arrows together. On type A and B there is an incuse lines outlining this ribbon. I don't know for sure, but strongly suspect this was a personnel mark put there by Chief Engraver, John R. Sinnock. On the type C, the tailfeathers have a centerline in relief. It is a good PUP when the coin is in hand and you can rotate it, but I find photos sometimes fail you. The second photo showed an area where I am not familiar with any checkpoints to distinguish type A from type C. On the third photo, the leaf just to the right of the bottom arrow head barb would extend higher on a type C than a type A. (By the way I just made a discovery. The Cherrypickers' Guide in the individulal entries for the different dates of type B shows a picture of the arrowheads that is NOT a type B. I always assumed it was a type A by mistake. I now see it is a type C.) For correct pictures of types A, B and C, see page 152 (only) of the fourth edition volume II of the CPG.
