Overview

Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first minted in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Originally struck in 90% silver, its composition changed to the copper-nickel clad in 1965 due to rising silver prices. It is one of the most common and recognizable coins in U.S. circulation.

Estimated value

For common dates from 1965 onwards in circulated condition, the estimated value is typically face value, 25 cents. Uncirculated examples or those with rare errors could be worth more, but this specimen appears circulated.

Care & preservation

To maintain its current condition, handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder or album. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can damage its surface and significantly decrease its numismatic value.
