Overview

A silver-colored clad coin featuring the profile of George Washington on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse.

Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first released in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The 'Eagle' reverse design was the standard for the series from 1932 until 1998, excluding the 1975-1976 Bicentennial issues.

Obverse (front)

Left-facing profile of George Washington. Legends: 'LIBERTY' (top), 'IN GOD WE TRUST' (left), '1994' (bottom). Small 'P' mint mark to the right of the portrait. Designer: John Flanagan.

Reverse (back)

An eagle with spread wings perched on a bundle of arrows, framed by two olive branches. Legends: 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', 'QUARTER DOLLAR'. Designer: John Flanagan.

Estimated value

$0.25 (face value) in circulated condition; $1.00 - $10.00 in high-grade Mint State (MS-65+).

What drives this coin's value

Condition (grade), contact marks, eye appeal, and the presence of rare mint errors.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated (shows minor pocket wear and light surface scratches, but details remain sharp).

Mintage & rarity

825,000,000 (Common)

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the copper-colored stripe on the edge. Verify weight (5.67g). Authentic coins show sharp details; fakes often appear 'mushy' or have incorrect metal luster.

Notable varieties & errors

Double Die Obverse or Reverse errors are the most sought-after variations for this year, though none are major rarities for 1994-P.

Similar coins

1932-1964 Silver Quarters (distinguished by lack of copper edge and weight) and various Statehood Quarters (distinguished by different reverse designs).

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning or polishing as it destroys numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place inside an PVC-free holder or folder to prevent toning or surface damage.
