Washington Quarter

Brief Description

The coin clearly shows the obverse side of a U.S. quarter, featuring the portrait of George Washington facing left. The inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and 'QUARTER DOLLAR' are visible, along with the year '2007'. The coin appears to be circulated with some wear and discoloration.

Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter, first minted in 1932, replaced the Standing Liberty Quarter and was initially issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. For decades, it featured a bald eagle on the reverse. Starting in 1999, the reverse began featuring designs related to U.S. states and territories through the 50 State Quarters Program and later the America the Beautiful Quarters Program, which the 2007 coin would be a part of.

Estimated Value

For a standard circulated 2007 Washington Quarter, the value is typically its face value, 25 cents. Uncirculated examples might fetch slightly more (e.g., $0.50 - $1.00), and special mint errors or proof versions would have higher values.

Care Instructions

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC holder or slab. Do not clean the coin, as this can severely damage its surface and significantly reduce its numismatic value.
