Rare Quarter Appraisal

1967 Washington Quarter

The item is a United States quarter, specifically a Washington Quarter, as indicated by the obverse design depicting George Washington's bust. The coin is circular, made of a cupro-nickel cladding over a copper core, giving it a silver-gray metallic appearance. Its approximate diameter is 24.26 mm, typical for a US quarter. The obverse prominently displays a left-facing profile of George Washington. Above his head, partially visible, are the words 'LIBERTY', while below his bust, the date '1967' is clearly legible. The motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is visible to his left. The coin appears to be in circulated condition, exhibiting a moderate amount of wear consistent with its age and use. There are noticeable scratches and scuffs across the obverse surface, particularly on Washington's face and hair, and in the fields surrounding the bust. Some areas show a slight darkening or toning, possibly due to environmental exposure or handling. The rim shows some minor wear but appears largely intact. There are no immediate visible signs of major damage such as significant dents, deep gouges, or attempts at cleaning which would significantly alter its surface, though a more detailed in-hand inspection would be necessary for a definitive assessment. No mint mark is visible, which is characteristic of coins minted in Philadelphia in 1967, as mint marks were intentionally omitted for all US coins between 1965 and 1967 to discourage hoarding. This coin belongs to the post-1964 clad quarter series. The craftsmanship is standard for US coinage of the era, functional and mass-produced.
