Washington Quarter

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile of George Washington facing left with the word 'LIBERTY' above, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' to the left, and the date '1964' on the right.

Historical Significance

1964 was the final year that the United States minted quarters for circulation with a 90% silver content. Due to rising silver prices, the Coinage Act of 1965 replaced the silver composition with a copper-nickel clad version starting in 1965.

Estimated Value

$4.50 - $6.00 (primarily based on silver melt value, though high-grade uncirculated specimens can be worth more)

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning the coin as it can damage the surface and reduce collector value. Store in a cool, dry place inside a PVC-free plastic holder or an acid-free paper envelope.
