1936 Washington Quarter XF
In 1936, the United States Mint struck a quarter dollar that continues to capture the imagination of coin enthusiasts. This piece, composed of 90% silver, carries a weight of 0.17875 troy ounces of precious metal. It represents an early era of a design that became a staple of American pocket change, preserved in Extra Fine condition where the finer details of its artistry remain clearly visible. The obverse of the coin presents a dignified profile of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Positioned around his portrait are the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the year "1936". This depiction, created by sculptor John Flanagan, offers a classic representation of American leadership. On the reverse, a powerful heraldic eagle is showcased with its wings spread wide. The eagle grips a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons, symbolizing both strength and peace. Surrounding this central image are the legends "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR".
