The Washington Quarter was issued for circulation from 1932 to 1998. The design was originally introduced in order to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. After a favorable public response, the design continued in use for the denomination in the ensuing years. The quarter dollar has long served as a workhorse denomination within circulation, which has led to relatively high mintages for much of the series. The two most noted key dates are the 1932-D and 1932-S Washington Quarters. The mintages for these issues were 436,800 and 408,000, respectively. Each of the coins commands a premium even in well circulated grades. No other issues of the series have a mintage of fewer than one million pieces for circulation. From 1932 to 1964, Washington Quarters were struck in a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper. Each coin from this era contained 0.18084 troy ounces of silver. Production took place at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. Lightly cleaned/polished. Please use your own judgment to determine the coins grade and value. All coins come with a plastic protector. Silver content ~ 5.6 gms = $5.70
