Washington Quarter

Brief Description

The obverse features a left-facing profile of George Washington, the first President of the United States. Above him is the word 'LIBERTY', to the left is the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the date '1965' is at the bottom.

Historical Significance

The year 1965 is significant in U.S. numismatics as it marked the transition from 90% silver coinage to copper-nickel clad compositions due to a silver shortage. This was the first year quarters were produced without silver content.

Estimated Value

$0.25 - $2.00 (Value depends on condition; circulated examples are generally worth face value, while uncirculated specimens may carry a small premium.)

Care Instructions

To maintain the coin's condition, handle it only by the edges. Store it in a cool, dry place inside a non-PVC coin holder or folder. Avoid cleaning the coin, as chemical or abrasive cleaning can permanently damage its surface and reduce any collector value.
