Overview

The reverse features a bald eagle with wings spread, perched on a bundle of arrows with two olive branches beneath it. The inscriptions include 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', and 'QUARTER DOLLAR'. This specific coin shows significant green environmental damage or PVC residue.

Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first released in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The 'Eagle' reverse design, created by John Flanagan, was used consistently from 1932 until 1998, with the exception of the 1776-1976 Bicentennial issue.

Estimated value

$0.25 (Face value). Due to the heavy oxidation, corrosion, and environmental damage visible, it lacks numismatic premium and is worth its base value.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or brushes as this can permanently strip the coin's surface. To stop the progression of the green 'verdigris', a soak in pure acetone (not nail polish remover) can sometimes stabilize the surface, though it will not restore original luster.
