Washington Quarter

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile of George Washington facing left, with the word 'LIBERTY' and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST'. The reverse (not visible but standard for the year) depicts an American bald eagle with wings spread.

Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. This 1997 issue represents one of the final years of the standard eagle reverse design before the start of the 50 State Quarters Program in 1999.

Estimated Value

Care Instructions

To maintain its state, avoid cleaning or scrubbing the coin as this can cause microscopic scratches that decrease numismatic value. Store in a dry environment and handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing oxidation.
