I'm glad you saw this John. I had actually typed, "I hope onecent1909 is proud of me." But, I deleted it as I thought it sounded cheesy. I did know about these before, but still I am truly grateful for the design varieties CD. I only need 7 more. The '61 is my first, but 2 days later I won a 1956. The grade is lacking, and I paid more ($7.55), but it's the rarest. There have been 173 total graded by the big 3 versus 365 for the 1961. The '56 should be here any day now. Here are the sellers images.

Nice pick , May i ask what the value for the type B quarters are running . I have 2 i want to get graded and trying to get a value on themComment

They are some nice coins to pick ,I have read up on these recently , since i got mine .And have noticed they say some of the busines strikes might have a reflective obverse ,But wouldn't that make it more of a proof? my 61 has a mirror surface on both sides , but think it might just be a proof strike. Sold my 64 type b today to a coin dealer buddy of mine today for a nice bit , also mirror finished both sides . I was thinking Special Strike or SMS strike 64 , But those are RARE , from what i read they say they are possible to find in sets. Good luck on picking moreComment

.
Look at the rims to see if the edge of the rim is square and knife like ( get a proof and run a finger from field up and over edge to see what I am saying )
Also get a proof and look at the field with a 10X mag or better then look at a circulation strke field.
You will learn to see and feel the difference.
I saw a very well-known ebay seller, he had a 1959 Proof listed as a circulation strike quarter.
It happens
type B quarters are not Mirror finished on both sides.
they may or may not have a reflective appearance. but not mirror.
quite a few type B reverse dies have die cracks in the tops of the wings.Member: Florida State representative for the ANA, Florida state representative for CONECA, F.U.N. and the Ocala Coin ClubComment

Yea i have been looking the net over a lot last couple of days since i noticed them . I still have the 61 type b reverse uncirculated , great condition. The 64 type b i sold was in mint state , I bought the 61,64 and a 57 off ebay for 12 bucks. The 61 &64 where still in mint cello,opened them up and put in 2x2 . Was going to get them graded , but was told not to waste my money on doing that . But i sold the 64 for $800, not a bad turn around for a $12 buyComment

PCGS says a 1964 MS 66 type Bis $700.00
1961 Type B MS 65 $140..... MS 66 $600
Being that the 61 and 64 are in mint cello are you sure that they are Circulation strike type Bs? and that they are not proofs from a Proof set?Last edited by onecent1909; 01-18-2016, 09:34 PM.Member: Florida State representative for the ANA, Florida state representative for CONECA, F.U.N. and the Ocala Coin ClubComment

Thats what i was thinking at first , and had a few people say they sounded like proofs instead of circulation strike. Did a lot of looking online to try and get an answer, and found that the type b did come in mint sets as well .Said it was rare but did happen. The guy i sold it to is a dealer and i buy from him from time to time. Figured i would take it by and get his thoughts on it,He looked it over and made an offer.I still think the obverse was to reflective to be a buisness strike.But from my reading online they say they came in mint sets. I guess i have some mint sets to look through againComment

The 1957, 1959, 1960, and 1964 can be found in mint sets.
I have never heard of a 1961 type B in a mint set, But that does not mean that it can not happen.
Again some Type Bs have a reflective nice field BUT not a mirror surface, and the rims are rounded not knife like sharp rims.
on the OFF TOPIC DISCUSSIONS If have a sticky thread on Wrong dies that you can read.
at the end is a reference list with a TYPE B website... good info there
I show that there are some other denominations that have proof dies used for circulation strikes.
the reverse of 1968 dimes I cherry pick a lot at shows.Member: Florida State representative for the ANA, Florida state representative for CONECA, F.U.N. and the Ocala Coin ClubComment
