United States 2023 Washington Quarter

The item is a United States quarter dollar coin, prominently featuring the bust of President George Washington on its obverse. The specific date '2023' is clearly visible below Washington's chin, indicating its year of mintage. To the left of Washington's effigy, the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is partially visible, and 'LIBERTY' is visible above his head. The coin appears to be made of a silver-colored metallic alloy, consistent with the cupro-nickel cladding used for circulating US quarters since 1965. Its condition shows signs of circulation and some surface discoloration, particularly a reddish-brown patina or stain across the upper right quadrant of Washington's head and extending to the rim. This discoloration is a notable condition issue and could be a result of environmental exposure or contact with other materials. The coin's reeded edge is not fully visible but is typical for this denomination. The craftsmanship is standard for modern US coinage, with machine-struck details, though some of the finer lines of Washington's hair may be slightly softened by wear. The overall sheen suggests it is a regular circulating coin, not a proof or specially minted collector's item, and its estimated age is based on the visible mintage date of 2023. The lack of any discernible mint mark other than what appears to be a 'P' (for Philadelphia Mint) or 'D' (for Denver Mint) below the date further confirms its status as a standard issue.
