1938-S Washington Quarter MS-64 PCGS
The 1938-S Washington quarter represents a fascinating moment in United States coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this twenty-five cent piece carries the distinct 'S' mint mark, signaling its West Coast origin. With a mintage of 2,832,000, this issue is a scarcer entry in the long-running series, making well-preserved examples especially intriguing to study. Crafted from 90 percent silver, this coin contains 0.1788 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen has been certified in Mint State 64 (MS-64), indicating that it retains its original luster and sharp details from the day it left the coining press. The obverse features the classic portrait of George Washington accompanied by the national motto, 'In God We Trust', while the reverse displays the majestic eagle design that has defined the denomination for decades.
