| Add one more to your enviable collection of the formerly used currencies by getting the 1961 Washington Quarter home. Released to celebrate the bicentennial birth anniversary of America’s first president, this silver coin was minted as a tribute to the country’s patriot, George Washington. Hence, on the obverse of this Washington Quarter is engraved the side profile picture of George Washington and the reverse side has the depiction of the presidential coat of arms. Weighing 6.25 g, the 1961 Washington Quarter was made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper. Designed by New York sculptor, John Flanagan this Washington Quarter was coined at two different mints: Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D). With a reeded edge, this silver coin not only prevented counterfeiting but also helps in its identification with just a touch. This Washington Quarter was a replacement for the standing liberty quarter in the 1932. | ||
