1947 Washington Quarter Dollar
This is a United States Washington Quarter dated 1947. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, the coin has a standard diameter of 24.3mm and a weight that originally was 6.25 grams. The obverse features the left-facing profile of George Washington designed by John Flanagan, with the inscriptions 'LIBERTY' at the top, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' to the left, and the date '1947' at the bottom. The condition of this specimen shows significant organic wear from circulation, evidenced by the many flattened details in Washington's hair and the general softening of the lettering along the inscriptions. The rim appears somewhat irregular and worn, and there are numerous small surface scratches and contact marks consistent with years of use. There is a visible grey patina typical of mid-20th-century silver currency. This coin was minted during the post-WWII era and belongs to the long-standing Washington series introduced in 1932. Due to its silver content, it holds intrinsic bullion value in addition to its numismatic value, though its high-wear state suggests it would likely be graded in the 'Good' to 'Very Good' range by professional grading standards.
