Overview

Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first minted in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. From 1965 onwards, due to rising silver prices, the composition was changed from 90% silver to copper-nickel clad, marking a significant shift in US coinage.

Estimated value

Approximately $0.25 to $1.00 for common dates in circulated condition, depending on wear and specific year. This coin appears to be a common clad quarter.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in individual coin holders or albums designed for coin storage. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can damage its surface and significantly reduce its numismatic value.
