Washington Quarter (Statehood or National Parks Series Obverse)

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile of George Washington facing left with the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and 'QUARTER DOLLAR'.

Historical Significance

This design update began in 1999 with the 50 State Quarters Program, a initiative that changed the reverse of the quarter every ten weeks to honor each state. It is one of the most successful numismatic programs in US history, credited with inspiring a new generation of coin collectors.

Estimated Value

$0.25 (Face value) if circulated; higher for specific errors or high-grade uncirculated specimens.

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning the coin as it can damage the surface and reduce collector value. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in an acid-free holder or flip if it has high numismatic value.
