Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This is a 1966 Washington Quarter, a standard circulation coin from the United States. The obverse features a profile of George Washington, facing left, with the inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST". The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with its wings spread. The coin is made of a copper-nickel clad composition.
History
The Washington Quarter was first minted in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Designed by John Flanagan, it replaced the Standing Liberty Quarter. The coin's design has remained largely unchanged since its inception, making it an iconic piece of American coinage. The 1966 minting falls within the period when quarters were made of clad metal.
Facts
While this particular coin is from 1966, earlier silver issues of the Washington Quarter are highly sought after by collectors. The transition from 90% silver to the copper-nickel clad composition occurred in 1965 due to rising silver prices. These clad quarters are common and generally valued for their face value unless they possess rare mint marks or significant errors.
Value Fact
The market value for a 1966 Washington Quarter in circulated condition is typically at or near its face value of twenty-five cents. Uncirculated examples, especially those with high grades from reputable grading services, can command slightly higher prices. However, without a key mint mark or notable error, this date is not considered particularly rare or valuable for collectors.
