Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first released in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The design by John Flanagan replaced the Standing Liberty quarter and has remained the standard for the denomination, though the reverse changed significantly starting in 1999 with the 50 State Quarters Program.

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives as this can damage the surface and reduce any potential collector value. Handle the coin by its edges to prevent oils from skin transferring to the face, and store it in a cool, dry place.
