Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first released in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. By 1973, US coinage had abandoned silver (since 1965) in favor of the copper-nickel clad composition visible in this specimen.

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can damage the surface and reduce any numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place within an acid-free holder to prevent oxidation or PVC damage.
