Washington Quarter

Brief Description

A circular silver-colored coin featuring the profile of George Washington facing left on the obverse. Above his head is the word 'LIBERTY', to the left 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the date at the bottom. The coin appears heavily worn and dirty.

Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Originally made of 90% silver, the composition changed to the current copper-nickel clad format in 1965 due to rising silver prices.

Estimated Value

$0.25 (Face value)

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or scrubbing with abrasives as this can damage the numismatic surface. For circulation-grade coins, handling by the edges is recommended to prevent oil transfer from skin.
