1979 Washington Quarter BU
The 1979 Washington quarter represents a fascinating look at modern United States circulating coinage. Struck in Philadelphia, this twenty-five cent piece is composed of an outer layer of copper and nickel bonded securely to a core of pure copper. This specific issue is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it retains the original luster and sharp details from when it first emerged from the minting press. The obverse features the familiar left-facing profile of George Washington, a design created by John Flanagan. Accompanying the portrait are the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date "1979". On the reverse, a powerful heraldic eagle is depicted gripping a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. The traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is positioned above the eagle, while the legends "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "QUARTER DOLLAR" frame the central design.
