1937-S Washington Quarter VF
The 1937 Washington quarter represents a classic era of United States silver coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this twenty five cent piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of the precious metal. Surviving in Very Fine condition, the coin retains clear details from its original striking, showing the honest wear of a piece that once circulated through daily American commerce. Designed by sculptor John Flanagan, the obverse presents a left facing portrait of George Washington, the nation's first president. This bust is accompanied by the national motto of trust and the date 1937. The reverse displays a powerful heraldic eagle with its wings spread, grasping a bundle of arrows in its talons above a pair of olive branches, symbolizing both strength and peace. The mint mark S is positioned below the wreath, indicating its origin at the San Francisco facility.
