Semi-Numismatic
1949-D Washington Quarter XF
Struck in the post-World War II era, this 1949 quarter from the Denver Mint represents a classic moment in mid-century American coinage. Composed of 90 percent silver, the coin contains approximately 0.1788 troy ounces of the precious metal. It survives today in Extra Fine condition, displaying the crisp details of a design that circulated during a transformative decade in United States history. The obverse presents the left-facing profile of George Washington, the nation's first president. This familiar portrait, created by sculptor John Flanagan, is accompanied by the national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the 1949 year of issue. On the reverse, Flanagan's powerful heraldic eagle spreads its wings, clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch beneath its talons. The Denver "D" mint mark is positioned below the wreath, while the traditional inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "QUARTER DOLLAR" frame the majestic bird.
