1948 Washington Quarter MS-66 NGC
In 1948, the Philadelphia Mint produced more than 35 million quarters, struck in 90 percent silver with a precious metal weight of 0.1788 troy ounces. Because these coins were intended for daily commerce, finding an example today that has survived in exceptional, uncirculated condition is a notable discovery for anyone fascinated by mid-century American coinage. This specific piece has been officially graded as Mint State 66 (MS-66), indicating a coin with minimal surface marks and a strong, original luster. The obverse displays the familiar profile of George Washington accompanied by the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, along with the 1948 year of issue. The reverse features the classic eagle design with the legend of the United States of America. Lacking a mint mark, this coin represents the traditional output of the main Philadelphia Mint facility during the post-World War II era.
