Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Quarters minted prior to 1965 are highly sought after because they contain 0.1808 troy ounces of pure silver.

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin as this can significantly lower its numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place inside a non-PVC coin holder or sleeve to prevent tarnishing and environmental damage.
