1960 Quarter Appraisal

1960 Washington Quarter

The item is a United States 1960 Washington Quarter, presented within a clear, presumably plastic, coin flip or holder. The obverse of the coin is visible, featuring a left-facing bust of George Washington. The material appears to be silver-colored, consistent with the standard silver composition (90% silver, 10% copper) used for quarters until 1964. The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed above Washington's head along the top rim, while "IN GOD WE TRUST" is located to his left, below his chin. The minting year, "1960," is clearly visible below the bust. The coin exhibits moderate wear consistent with circulation, particularly on the higher points of Washington's effigy, such as the hair and cheekbone. There are some darker areas and surface discoloration, possibly indicating toning or environmental exposure, but no severe damage, deep scratches, or repairs are immediately apparent from the image. The coin's edge, though not fully visible, appears to be consistent with a reeded edge. The overall condition suggests a circulated grade without significant post-mint damage. The coin is encased in a rigid, transparent square holder with a slightly textured or ribbed edge, designed to protect the coin from further wear or damage. This coin belongs to the 'Washington Quarter' series, first minted in 1932 to commemorate George Washington's 200th birthday.
