The Secret Washington Quarter: Type B Reverse (1956–1964)

💰 Most people know quarters from 1964 and earlier are 90% silver. They’re already worth about $5–6 each just for melt value.

👉 But here’s the secret: Some of those quarters are worth 10x more—if you spot this tiny detail.


What To Look For (1956–1964 Only)

Flip to the reverse (back):

  • 🔍 Look at “STATES” → there should be a clear gap between the E and S.
  • 🔍 Look at “DOLLAR” → the leaf should touch the A.

If you see both? You’ve got a Type B Reverse Quarter.


Value

  • Normal Silver Quarter: $5–6
  • Type B Reverse: $50–75+
