1946-S Washington Quarter Good/XF
In 1946, the San Francisco Mint struck this silver quarter, marking a fascinating moment in mid-century American coinage. Struck in 90 percent silver with a precious metal content of 0.1788 troy ounces, this coin represents a classic era of United States circulating currency. The obverse displays a dignified profile of George Washington, the nation's first president, facing left. This side also bears the familiar inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST" alongside the 1946 date. On the reverse, a powerful heraldic eagle is depicted holding a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. Above the eagle, the traditional Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is inscribed, while the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" frame the top of the design. This particular issue features the "S" mint mark, indicating its origin from the historic San Francisco facility, and is preserved in Good or better condition.
