Overview

The obverse features a left-facing profile of George Washington, the first President of the United States. The words 'LIBERTY' and 'IN GOD WE TRUST' are visible. This specific specimen appears to have significant greenish surface oxidation or environmental damage.

Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Originally made of 90% silver, the composition changed to the current copper-nickel clad formula in 1965 due to rising silver prices.

Estimated value

$0.25 USD (Face value). Due to its heavily circulated and damaged condition, it holds no additional numismatic premium.

Care & preservation

Store in a dry environment to prevent further corrosion. For coins of high value, never clean them with chemicals as this destroys numismatic value; however, for a common circulation coin like this, a mild soap and water rinse might remove surface dirt, though the oxidation shown is likely permanent.
