Overview

The reverse features a bald eagle with wings spread, perched on a bundle of arrows with olive branches below. The top text reads 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', while the bottom text reads 'QUARTER DOLLAR'.

Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. This eagle reverse design was used consistently until the start of the 50 State Quarters program in 1999.

Estimated value

$0.25 (face value) for circulated copper-nickel clad coins; significantly more for silver versions (pre-1965) or rare mint errors.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives as it can damage the surface and reduce collector value. Store in a cool, dry place inside an archival-safe coin holder or flip to prevent scratches and oxidation.
