United States Washington Quarter (Reverse)

This item is a United States Washington Quarter, specifically showing the reverse (tails) side featuring the classic eagle design. Constructed typically from a copper-nickel clad composition (if post-1964) or 90% silver (if 1964 or earlier), the coin has a diameter of 24.26 mm with a reeded edge. The reverse design showcases an eagle with outspread wings perched on a bundle of arrows, framed by two olive branches. Visible text includes 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' at the top, the motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' above the eagle's head, and the denomination 'QUARTER DOLLAR' at the bottom. The condition of this specific specimen is notably poor; the surface exhibits significant environmental damage, including heavy greenish oxidation/corrosion (likely verdigris) across the lower left and bottom sections. There is substantial wear on the high points of the eagle's breast and wings, suggesting a grade of 'About Good' or lower. Tiny surface scratches and dings are visible against the dark wood background. The strike appears standard for circulation coinage of the mid-20th century, though the heavy patina and corrosion obscure potential mint marks usually found below the center of the olive branches.
