1973-S Washington Quarter Gem Proof
In 1973, the San Francisco Mint produced a striking proof edition of the Washington quarter. This coin features the iconic profile of George Washington on the obverse, a design first introduced on August 1, 1932, to honor the 200th anniversary of his birth. This classic portrait permanently replaced the previous Standing Liberty design. While the earliest versions of this series were struck in silver, the composition of the quarter changed significantly following the Coinage Act of 1965. This 1973-S proof coin is composed of a cupronickel clad copper blend, reflecting that modern era of United States coinage. Every detail of this Gem Proof coin is rendered with exceptional clarity. The obverse displays the word LIBERTY above Washington's portrait, with the national motto IN GOD WE TRUST positioned to the left, and the 1973 date below. The reverse features the traditional inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and QUARTER DOLLAR, alongside the Latin phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM.
