The obverse features a left-facing profile of George Washington. Above the head is 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', to the left is 'LIBERTY', to the right is 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and below is the value 'QUARTER DOLLAR'.

Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. It replaced the Standing Liberty Quarter. The design shown is the post-1964 version, which changed from 90% silver to a copper-nickel clad composition due to rising silver prices.

Estimated Value

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives as this can damage the surface and reduce collector value. Store in a cool, dry place within a PVC-free protective holder to prevent oxidation or 'milk spots'.
