Semi-Numismatic
1942-S Washington Quarter XF
In 1942, the San Francisco Mint struck this silver quarter, which survives today in Extra Fine condition. Minted during a pivotal era in United States history, the coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of the precious metal. Designed by sculptor John Flanagan, the coin's obverse presents a sharp, left-facing profile of George Washington. This iconic portrait is accompanied by the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the date, 1942. The reverse displays a powerful heraldic eagle with its wings spread wide, gripping a bundle of arrows in its talons above an olive branch. The denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR" is inscribed along the bottom curve, completing a classic piece of American coinage that showcases mid-twentieth-century design and craftsmanship.
