Overview

The obverse features a profile of George Washington facing left, with the word 'LIBERTY' above, the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' to the left, and the date '1965' at the bottom.

Historical significance

1965 was the first year the U.S. Mint switched from 90% silver to copper-nickel clad composition for quarters due to silver shortages. It marked the end of silver coinage for circulation in the United States.

Estimated value

$0.25 - $2.00 (Commonly valued at face value if found in circulation; higher prices are for uncirculated or rare error specimens)

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning the coin as it can damage the surface and reduce collector value. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally within a PVC-free coin holder or envelope.
