1932-S Washington Quarter XF
The year 1932 marked a significant transition in American coinage with the introduction of the Washington quarter, a series created to honor the bicentennial of George Washington's birth. This particular specimen, struck at the San Francisco Mint, represents the very first year of this enduring design. Crafted from 90 percent silver, the coin contains approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of precious metal and has survived in Extra Fine condition, showing crisp details from its time in circulation. On the obverse, the coin displays a left-facing portrait of George Washington, accompanied by the national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date 1932. The reverse features a powerful heraldic eagle with its wings spread wide, gripping a bundle of arrows above an olive branch. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR" encircle the central design, with the distinctive "S" mint mark positioned just below the olive branch.
