Washington Quarters
(1932 - 1999)
The Washington Quarter was first issued in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth. Designed by John Flanagan, the obverse features a left-facing portrait of Washington, while the reverse displays an eagle with outstretched wings.
From 1932 through 1964, Washington Quarters were struck in the traditional 90% silver and 10% copper composition. In 1965, rising silver prices led to a composition change to a copper-nickel clad format (75% copper, 25% nickel bonded to a pure copper core), ending silver production for circulating quarters.
Key dates in the silver portion of the series include the 1932-D and 1932-S. While most clad issues (1965–1998) are common in circulation, higher-grade examples and certain varieties remain collectible. The original eagle reverse design concluded in 1998, before the introduction of the State Quarters program in 1999.

Why Most State Quarters Aren’t Valuable
The U.S. Mint’s State Quarters program was one of the most popular coin series ever, but despite the hype, most of these coins aren’t worth more than face value. Coin shops regularly see full sets brought in, yet unless they’re silver proofs or graded at the highest levels, dealers simply aren’t buying. Learn why State Quarters are fun to collect but rarely valuable — and what exceptions to look out for.
