Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. By 1979, the coin was standard circulation currency and part of the long-running series designed by John Flanagan.

Estimated Value

$0.25 - $2.00 depending on condition (this specimen appears heavily worn/corroded and is likely worth face value)

Care Instructions

Keep in a dry, cool place. Avoid cleaning or scrubbing with abrasives as this can damage the numismatic surface; use an archival-safe holder if preserving for a collection.
