1948-D Washington Quarter MS-65 PCGS
This mid-century silver quarter, minted in Denver during 1948, offers a window into post-war American coinage. Struck with a purity of 90 percent silver, this specific piece has been certified in Mint State 65 (MS-65), indicating a highly preserved state that highlights the original artistry of the engraver, John Flanagan. The obverse of the coin presents a left-facing portrait of George Washington. Accompanying this prominent profile are the inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST", alongside the 1948 date. The design captures a clean, dignified representation of the first president, which became a staple of United States pocket change. On the reverse, an eagle spreads its wings in a powerful display. Above the eagle, the traditional Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum" is inscribed, while the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR" and the issuing country are clearly marked. A small "D" mint mark is positioned to denote its origin from the Denver Mint, completing a classic design that contains 0.17875 troy ounces of precious metal.
