Washington Quarter

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile of George Washington facing left, with the words 'LIBERTY' above, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' to the left, and the date '1982' below. A 'P' mint mark is visible behind his neck.

Historical Significance

The 1982 Washington Quarter is notable among collectors because the U.S. Mint did not produce official uncirculated mint sets that year due to budget cuts, making high-quality specimens rarer than other years. The 'P' indicates it was minted in Philadelphia.

Estimated Value

$0.25 - $5.00 (Value is primarily face value for circulated coins; higher for uncirculated or high-grade specimens).

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning the coin as it can damage the surface and reduce collector value. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a PVC-free flip or capsule to prevent oxidation and environmental damage.
