1956-D Washington Quarter BU
In 1956, the Denver Mint produced a classic piece of American pocket change that remains a favorite for those exploring mid-century coinage. Struck in 90% fine silver, this Washington quarter contains approximately 0.1808 troy ounces of precious metal. Its preservation in Brilliant Uncirculated condition means the fine details of the original engraving remain as crisp as the day the coin left the coining press. The obverse of the coin presents a dignified, left-facing profile of George Washington, the nation's first president. This iconic portrait is accompanied by the familiar national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the 1956 production year. Turning the coin over reveals a powerful reverse design centered on a heraldic eagle. The majestic bird is depicted with its wings spread wide, clutching a bundle of arrows in its talons above a pair of olive branches, symbolizing both strength and peace. Below this central motif, the denomination is clearly marked, while the "D" mint mark indicates its origin from the Denver facility.
