Overview

A United States quarter dollar coin featuring the portrait of George Washington on the obverse.

Historical significance

The Washington quarter has been produced since 1932. Starting in 1999, the United States Mint began the 50 State Quarters program, followed by the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories program, and the America the Beautiful series, changing the obverse text to 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'QUARTER DOLLAR'.

Obverse (front)

Modified portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, facing left. Legends: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and QUARTER DOLLAR.

Reverse (back)

Not clearly visible in the provided images (both images show the obverse side of a post-1998 quarter). The reverse would feature a state, territory, or national park design.

Estimated value

$0.25 circulated, $1-$5 in high-grade uncirculated condition unless a rare variety or silver proof.

What drives this coin's value

Most value comes from condition (MS-65 or higher), presence of rare 'W' mint marks (from 2019-2020), or specific doubled die/error varieties.

Grade assessment

Circulated / Extremely Fine (EF) - shows light wear on the hair and high points, but remains sharp.

Mintage & rarity

Very common; billions produced annually across various designs.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for a copper stripe on the edge to confirm it is a standard clad issue; verify weight and diameter; look for crisp lettering.

Notable varieties & errors

2019 and 2020 'W' mint mark quarters (West Point), Wisconsin extra leaf, various doubled dies, and 'In God We Rust' grease strike errors.

Similar coins

Pre-1999 Washington Quarters (which have the country and denomination on the reverse), and silver proof versions of the same design.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid finger oils; do not clean or polish as it destroys numismatic value; store in a dry, PVC-free environment.
