1939-S Washington Quarter XF
Struck in 1939 at the San Francisco Mint, this silver quarter represents a classic era of United States coinage. Composed of 90% silver, the coin contains approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of precious metal. This piece survives in Extra Fine condition, showcasing the enduring details of a design that has become a staple of American pocket change. The obverse presents the left-facing profile of the nation's first president, George Washington. Above and around the portrait, the legendary mottoes of American currency are displayed, including the phrase "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date 1939. This iconic bust was created by sculptor John Flanagan. On the reverse, Flanagan composed a powerful heraldic scene. A stylized eagle is depicted with its wings spread wide, gripping a bundle of arrows in its talons above a pair of olive branches. This design is framed by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR".
