1938-S Washington Quarter Good/Fine
Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the late 1930s, this 25 cent piece represents a classic era of United States coinage. Made of 90 percent silver, the coin contains approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of the precious metal. It remains a popular subject of study for those interested in the evolution of American circulating currency. The obverse of the coin displays a left-facing portrait of George Washington, the nation's first president. This profile is accompanied by the familiar national motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the 1938 year of issue. On the reverse, a powerful heraldic eagle is depicted clutching a bundle of arrows alongside an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. The San Francisco mint mark is located beneath the eagle, marking its origin from the West Coast facility.
