1936-S Washington Quarter MS-65 NGC
In 1936, the San Francisco Mint produced a limited run of 3,828,000 Washington quarters. This particular silver coin, struck with 90 percent silver and containing 0.1788 troy ounces of precious metal, stands out today as a remarkably preserved survivor of early twentieth-century American coinage. Having achieved a certified grade of Mint State 65 (MS-65), it retains the sharp details and lustrous surfaces that are often lost to decades of circulation. The obverse features the familiar left-facing portrait of George Washington, accompanied by the classic inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date "1936". On the reverse, the design displays the national identification "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", the traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR". The tiny "S" mint mark on the reverse denotes its origin at the historic San Francisco facility, making it a fascinating point of study for those exploring the evolution of United States circulating currency.
