1938 Washington Quarter BU
Struck in 1938, this Washington Quarter represents an early year in one of America's most enduring coin series. Minted in Philadelphia without a mint mark, this piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of the precious metal. Kept in brilliant uncirculated condition, the coin retains its original luster, allowing the fine details of the engraving to stand out clearly. The obverse features the left-facing profile of George Washington, a design created by sculptor John Flanagan. Above and around the portrait, the traditional mottoes and the date of 1938 are clearly legible. On the reverse, Flanagan's powerful heraldic eagle is depicted with wings spread wide, clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons, symbolizing both strength and peace. The denomination of one quarter dollar is proudly displayed below.
