1948-D Washington Quarter BU
The 1948 Washington quarter stands as a beautiful example of mid-century American coinage. Struck in 90% fine silver, this particular piece contains approximately 0.1808 ounces of precious metal. Preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, the coin retains the same sharp details and lustrous surface that it possessed when it first left the coining presses over seven decades ago. The obverse presents a dignified left-facing profile of George Washington, the nation's first president. This iconic portrait is accompanied by the classic national mottoes. On the reverse, a powerful heraldic eagle is depicted with wings spread wide, clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons, symbolizing both strength and peace. Below the eagle, the distinct 'D' mint mark indicates this piece was produced at the Denver Mint.
