1969 Washington Quarter
Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This is a 1964 United States Washington Quarter, a common yet iconic piece of American coinage. The obverse features a profile of George Washington, designed by John Flanagan, with 'LIBERTY' and 'IN GOD WE TRUST' inscribed. The reverse typically depicts an eagle, also designed by Flanagan, although later issues had a different reverse design. This coin shows signs of circulation, indicating it has been used in commerce.
History
The Washington Quarter series began in 1932 to commemorate the bicentennial of George Washington's birth. Designed by John Flanagan, the obverse portrait quickly became a beloved feature of American currency. The coin's reverse initially featured an eagle, a symbol of freedom and strength. The composition of the quarter changed over time, with the 1964 date being significant as it was the last year clad coins contained any silver.
Facts
The 1964 quarter is noteworthy as it was minted before the Coinage Act of 1965 removed silver from circulating U.S. dimes, quarters, and half-dollars. This means that while most 1964 quarters are made of a copper-nickel clad composition, some early strikes might have been produced with the remaining silver alloy. Finding a silver 1964 quarter requires careful examination of its composition, as they were intended for circulation.
Value Fact
In circulated condition, 1964 Washington Quarters are generally worth their face value or a small premium due to their historical significance and common availability. However, uncirculated examples or those with specific mint errors can command higher prices. The presence of silver in certain 1964 quarters adds a potential collector's interest, especially for those building a collection of transitional coinage or silver U.S. coins.
