Overview

A standard circulating United States Washington quarter showing George Washington on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse.

Historical significance

Introduced in 1932 to commemorate the bicentennial of George Washington's birth, this design became a permanent fixture of US coinage. The 1993 issue falls near the end of the traditional 'pre-Statehood' reverse design era before the 50 State Quarters program began in 1999.

Obverse (front)

Profile portrait of George Washington facing left, with the word 'LIBERTY' above, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' to the left, and the year '1993' and mint mark below.

Reverse (back)

An American bald eagle with wings displayed, perched on a bundle of arrows surrounded by an olive wreath, with 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', and 'QUARTER DOLLAR'.

Estimated value

$0.25 (face value) in circulated condition, $1-$5 in uncirculated condition

What drives this coin's value

Condition grade, presence of mint errors (such as double dies or striking errors), and preservation of original luster.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine / About Uncirculated (shows minor wear on the highest points of hair and feathers, but retains most original mint luster)

Mintage & rarity

Common; hundreds of millions were minted across Philadelphia and Denver mints.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check weight, dimensions, and use the coin-edge test. Modern circulating quarters are common and rarely counterfeited for face value.

Notable varieties & errors

Occasional doubled die obverse varieties or minor mint errors, though none command high premiums in average circulated grades.

Similar coins

State Quarters, Washington quarters from other years, or modern commemorative quarters.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Do not clean, as harsh cleaning agents or wiping can scratch the surface and destroy numismatic value.
