Overview

The obverse features a profile of George Washington facing left, with the word 'LIBERTY' above, the date '1951' below, and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' in the left field. The reverse typically features an eagle with wings spread, perched on a bundle of arrows.

Historical significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Quarters minted prior to 1965 are significant for their silver content, as later issues were transitioned to a copper-nickel clad composition.

Estimated value

$5.00 - $10.00 (Value is largely based on the current market price of silver; uncirculated or high-grade coins can be worth significantly more).

Care & preservation

To maintain the coin's value, do not clean it or use abrasives, as this can damage the original surface and finish. Store it in a PVC-free plastic holder or a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing and environmental wear.
