Washington Quarter

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile of George Washington facing left with the inscriptions 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', the year '1982', and the 'P' mint mark indicating it was struck in Philadelphia.

Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The 1982-P issue is notable to collectors because no official Mint Sets were produced that year, making high-grade uncirculated examples scarcer than usual.

Estimated Value

$0.25 - $5.00 (Standard circulated examples are worth face value; higher values are reserved for specimens in mint state or uncirculated condition).

Care Instructions

To maintain the coin's condition, handle it only by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin to the surfaces. Store in a cool, dry place inside a non-PVC coin holder or sleeve. Do not attempt to clean the coin, as chemical or abrasive cleaning can significantly reduce its numismatic value.
