Brief Description

Features the left-facing profile of George Washington on the obverse. The coin shown appears significantly worn and damaged, with a distorted rim and flattened features.

Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first released in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The 1981 issue is a common circulation strike from the era after silver was removed from US coinage in 1965.

Estimated Value

$0.25 (Face value). Due to its heavy damage and high circulation volume, it carries no numismatic premium.

Care Instructions

Store in a dry environment. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or brushes, as this can further damage the surface and destroy potential historical value in higher-grade specimens.
