1943-S Washington Quarter Good/VF
Struck during the height of the Second World War, the 1943 Washington quarter from the San Francisco Mint represents a fascinating moment in mid-twentieth-century American coinage. This piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of the precious metal. It circulates today in a condition of Good or better, carrying the physical wear of its journey through the wartime economy. The obverse of the coin displays a dignified left-facing portrait of George Washington, designed by John Flanagan. Accompanying the profile is the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," along with the 1943 date. On the reverse, Flanagan's design features a powerful heraldic eagle. The bird is depicted with outspread wings, clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons, symbolizing both strength and peace. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR" frame this classic national motif.
