1940-D Washington Quarter BU
The 1940 Washington quarter, minted in Denver, stands as a beautiful example of mid-twentieth-century American coinage. Struck in 90 percent silver, this twenty-five cent piece contains 0.17875 troy ounces of precious metal. Preserved in brilliant uncirculated condition, the coin retains its original luster, allowing the fine details of the engraving to remain crisp and clear. Created by sculptor John Flanagan, the design presents a powerful profile of George Washington on the obverse, facing left. The reverse showcases a majestic heraldic eagle with its wings spread wide, gripping a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons. This combination of symbols represents both strength and peace, making the 1940-D quarter a fascinating subject of study for those exploring the evolution of United States coinage.
