1967 Quarter Appraisal

1967 Washington Quarter Dollar

This is a 1967 United States Washington Quarter Dollar, a circulating coin composed of a copper-nickel clad over a pure copper core. The obverse features the left-facing profile of George Washington designed by John Flanagan, with the inscription 'LIBERTY' at the top, the national motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' to the left, and the date '1967' at the base. Notably, 1967 quarters do not feature a mint mark, as they were produced across multiple mints during a period when mint marks were temporarily suspended to discourage coin collecting and hoarding. This specimen exhibits significant circulation wear and environmental damage. The silver-colored nickel cladding shows heavy abrasions, heavy dark-toned patina, and signs of 'environmental staining' or corrosion, particularly around the edges and within the fields. There is an orange-brown discoloration visible near the 'R-T' in 'LIBERTY', which may indicate localized oxidation or exposure to harsh elements. The relief of Washington's hair and facial features is considerably flattened from use. The coin measures 24.26mm in diameter with a reeded edge. Its condition appears to be in the 'About Good' to 'Good' range due to the excessive surface wear and staining, significantly impacting its numismatic appeal despite its status as a common vintage circulation strike.
