1950-S Washington Quarter BU
The 1950 Washington quarter from the San Francisco Mint represents a classic era of United States silver coinage. Struck with a purity of 90 percent silver, this piece contains 0.17875 troy ounces of precious metal. Preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, the coin retains its original luster, allowing the fine details of the mid twentieth-century engraving to remain sharp and clear. Created by sculptor John Flanagan, the design presents a dignified profile of George Washington on the obverse, facing left. This portrait is accompanied by the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST", and the 1950 date. The reverse displays a powerful heraldic eagle with its wings spread wide, gripping a bundle of arrows in its talons above a pair of olive branches, symbolizing both strength and peace. The San Francisco "S" mint mark on this quarter marks its origin from the historic West Coast facility.
