1942-S Washington Quarter AU
Struck during a pivotal year in mid-century American history, this 1942 silver quarter dollar showcases the artistry of designer John Flanagan. Minted at the San Francisco facility, the coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of the precious metal. It remains in an Almost Uncirculated state, preserving the sharp details of its original engraving. The obverse presents a dignified profile of George Washington, the nation's first president, facing left. This iconic portrait is accompanied by the national motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the date of issue, 1942. Turning the coin over reveals a bold reverse design. A majestic heraldic eagle is depicted with its wings spread wide, clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons. This classic symbol of strength and peace is framed by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination, QUARTER DOLLAR.
