Overview

Obverse features the profile of George Washington facing left, with 'LIBERTY' above, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' to the left, and the date '1963' at the bottom. The reverse typically features a bald eagle with wings spread, perched on a bundle of arrows.

Historical significance

Designed by John Flanagan, the Washington Quarter was first released in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The 1963 issue is notable as one of the final years the coin was minted in 90% silver before the transition to copper-nickel clad in 1965 due to rising silver costs.

Estimated value

$4.50 - $6.00 (primarily based on silver melt value for circulated specimens)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place within a PVC-free coin holder or capsule. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can create microscopic scratches and significantly reduce its numismatic value.
