1951 Washington Quarter VG/XF
Struck in 90 percent silver, the 1951 Washington quarter is a classic example of United States mid-century coinage. This piece contains 0.17875 troy ounces of precious metal and represents a time when silver was still the standard for circulating American currency. The coin features a prominent left-facing portrait of George Washington on the obverse, a design created by John Flanagan. Accompanying the profile is the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," along with the date of 1951. On the reverse, a powerful heraldic eagle is depicted gripping a bundle of arrows and an olive branch. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "QUARTER DOLLAR" encircle the design, completing this iconic piece of American monetary history.
