1948-D Washington Quarter AU
In 1948, the Denver Mint struck this silver quarter dollar, representing a classic era of mid-century American coinage. Crafted from 90% silver, the coin contains approximately 0.17875 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen survives in Almost Uncirculated condition, preserving the sharp details of its original engraving. The obverse presents the left-facing profile of George Washington, the nation's first president. This iconic portrait is accompanied by the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the year "1948". John Flanagan designed this enduring imagery, which became a staple of daily American commerce. On the reverse, a powerful heraldic eagle is depicted with its wings spread wide, gripping a bundle of arrows and an olive branch beneath its talons. This design elegantly balances symbols of military strength and a desire for peace. Surrounding the central motif are the legends "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", the traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR".
