Historical significance

The Washington Quarter has been a circulating coin in the United States since 1932. The clad version, introduced in 1965, marked a significant change in U.S. coinage from silver to a copper-nickel composition due to rising silver prices. Quarters are widely used in daily transactions and have featured various commemorative reverse designs, such as the 50 State Quarters Program.

Estimated value

Face value ($0.25 USD) for circulated examples. Uncirculated or special mint examples may fetch slightly more from collectors, typically a few dollars.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in archival-safe holders like flips, capsules, or albums. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can damage its surface and decrease its collector value.
