1960 Washington Quarter Dollar
This is a United States Washington Quarter with a visible mintage date of 1960. The coin features the classic left-facing profile of George Washington on the obverse, designed by John Flanagan. Constructed from 90% silver and 10% copper, this specimen exhibits a metallic grey/silver coloration with significant surface oxidation or 'toning' that gives it a darker, muted appearance. The word 'LIBERTY' is curved along the top edge, and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is positioned to the left of Washington’s neck. The coin shows signs of circular circulation wear; the fine details of the hair and the high points of the bust are somewhat flattened. There are various micro-scratches and minor dings consistent with a coin that has spent time in general commerce. The rim is mostly intact, though it appears slightly softened. No visible mint mark is present on the obverse (which would be the case for Philadelphia strikes of this era), though a potential mint mark would typically be located on the reverse below the eagle’s tail. Overall, it serves as a common example of mid-20th-century American silver coinage, valued primarily for its precious metal content and historical numismatic interest.
