Washington Quarter (State Series)

Brief Description

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of George Washington facing left. The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" are inscribed around the top edge, while "QUARTER DOLLAR" are inscribed below the portrait.

Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first minted in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The State Quarters program, which ran from 1999 to 2008, featured unique designs on the reverse representing each of the 50 U.S. states. This particular quarter is likely part of the Statehood Quarters program, representing a specific state.

Estimated Value

The value of a 2006 Quarter depends on its condition and mint mark (Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco). Circulated coins are generally worth face value. Uncirculated coins can range from face value up to a few dollars. Some proofs or rare varieties could be worth more.

Care Instructions

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store the coin in a cool, dry environment, ideally in a non-PVC holder or album designed for coin preservation. Avoid cleaning the coin as this can devalue it.
