1947-S Washington Quarter BU
The 1947 Washington quarter, minted in San Francisco, represents a classic era of United States silver coinage. Struck with a purity of 90% silver, this 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 mid-twentieth-century engraving to remain sharp and clear. On the obverse, the coin displays the left-facing profile of George Washington, a design created by John Flanagan. The reverse presents a powerful heraldic eagle, its wings spread wide as it clutches a bundle of arrows and an olive branch. This combination of patriotic symbols and precious metal composition makes the 1947-S quarter a compelling subject for those exploring the artistry of American circulating coinage.
