Description
This is a United States quarter dollar featuring a portrait of George Washington on the obverse. The reverse typically displays an eagle. Minted in Philadelphia, indicated by the 'P' mint mark, this coin represents a standard circulation issue. The coin's composition is a copper-nickel clad, contributing to its durability and metallic sheen.
History
The Washington quarter was first minted in 1932 to commemorate the bicentennial of George Washington's birth. Designed by John Flanagan, it replaced the Standing Liberty quarter. The obverse portrait is based on a bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon. The coin's design has remained largely consistent, making it an enduring symbol of American currency.
Facts
The Washington quarter has been a staple in American coinage for nearly a century. Its iconic imagery of the first U.S. president is widely recognized. The 'P' mint mark signifies production at the Philadelphia Mint, which is the oldest mint in the United States. Many collectors focus on specific design variations and mintages.
Value Fact
Washington quarters are common, with most circulation strikes having minimal numismatic value. However, high-grade examples, proofs, or those with significant errors can command higher prices. The market value is heavily influenced by the coin's condition, rarity, and demand among collectors seeking specific series or mint dates.
