The Philadelphia Mint produced some business strike coins in each of the years 1956 to 1964 using reverse proof dies that had already produced proof coins. These coins are referred to as Type B Reverses whereas the coins produced with normal (non-proof) dies are referred to as Type A Reverses. A more complete discussion of these coins can be found in the following Coin Week™ article:
