History
The Washington Quarter was introduced in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. From 1932 to 1964, these quarters were minted in 90% silver and 10% copper, making them valuable both numismatically and for their silver content. The 1944 issue was struck during World War II when silver coinage was still standard, and millions were produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints. Washington Quarters are highly sought after by coin collectors and silver investors alike. These coins represent an important era in American coinage history and are popular among numismatists for building date and mint mark collections. The silver content alone makes them worth significantly more than face value, and circulated examples in good condition remain accessible to collectors at all levels while still holding intrinsic precious metal value.
