1939-D Washington Quarter AU
In 1939, the Denver Mint produced a classic piece of American coinage that continues to captivate observers today. This Washington quarter, composed of 90 percent silver with a precious metal content of 0.17875 troy ounces, is preserved in About Uncirculated condition, offering a clear window into the craftsmanship of the late 1930s. The obverse presents a dignified left-facing profile of George Washington, the nation's first president. This iconic portrait, created by sculptor John Flanagan, is accompanied by the inscriptions of liberty and the national motto, "In God We Trust," with the year 1939 anchored at the bottom. On the reverse, Flanagan's design features a striking heraldic eagle with its wings spread wide. The eagle clutches a bundle of arrows beneath its talons, which is paired with an olive branch to symbolize both strength and peace. Above the eagle, the inscription of the issuing nation is clearly visible, while the denomination of one quarter dollar is displayed below.
