1965 Washington Quarter
This is a United States Washington Quarter with the year 1965 visible on the obverse. The coin features the profile of George Washington facing left, with the word 'LIBERTY' arched above the head and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' positioned below the chin. It is a copper-nickel clad coin, which replaced the silver composition used previously in 1964 and prior. The coin measures 24.26 mm in diameter with a thickness of 1.75 mm. This specific specimen shows significant circulation wear, commonly referred to as 'Very Good' to 'Fine' condition in numismatic terms. The high points of Washington's hair and the cheek show flattening, and the legend / date appear slightly worn. There are visible surface scratches and a dull grey patina consistent with years of exchange in commerce. A notable feature of 1965 quarters is the absence of a mint mark, as none were used on US currency that year to discourage hoarding. This coin represents the first year of the transition to non-precious metals in American quarters, marking a major shift in United States minting history.
