Overview

Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first issued in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Initially intended as a one-year commemorative, it became a regular issue, replacing the Standing Liberty Quarter. The 1958 quarter is significant as it belongs to the era of silver coinage, as quarters minted before 1965 contained 90% silver. This makes it a popular item for collectors and for its intrinsic silver value.

Estimated value

The value of a 1958 Washington Quarter can range from its melt value (due to the silver content, approximately $4-$5 USD as of late 2023, depending on silver prices) for circulated coins, to tens or even hundreds of dollars for uncirculated or high-grade specimens. Coins with mint marks (D for Denver, S for San Francisco – though San Francisco did not mint quarters in 1958) can also impact value. A 1958 quarter without a mint mark was minted in Philadelphia.

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's value and appearance, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an inert holder such as a Mylar flip, a non-PVC coin slab, or a coin album specifically designed for numismatics. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often damage its surface and significantly reduce its numismatic value, even if it appears to improve its aesthetics to an untrained eye.
