Overview

The obverse features a profile of George Washington facing left, with the word 'LIBERTY' above, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' to the left, and the date '1985' below. The reverse (not pictured) typically shows a heraldic eagle.

Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. By 1985, the composition had long since changed from silver to a copper-nickel clad to conserve precious metals.

Estimated value

Face value ($0.25) in circulated condition; up to $1-$5 if in high-grade uncirculated condition.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as chemical cleaners and abrasive cloths can damage the original luster and reduce numismatic value.
