Worn 198(?) Washington Quarter Dollar

This item is a United States Washington Quarter, measuring approximately 24.26 mm in diameter. Based on the visible copper-colored core appearing through the nickel plating on the edges and surface, it is a post-1964 cupro-nickel clad composition composed of an outer layer of 75% copper and 25% nickel bonded to a pure copper core. The obverse features the left-facing profile of George Washington as designed by John Flanagan. The word 'LIBERTY' is visible along the top arc, and the national motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is stamped on the left. The date at the bottom is heavily worn but appears to begin with '198', suggesting a mintage during the 1980s. The coin is in poor condition, exhibiting significant physical wear, surface abrasions, and impact damage. Large chunks of the rim are missing or compressed, particularly on the right side. The overall surface is dull and lacks original mint luster, showing evidence of heavy circulation or environmental damage. There are no clear mint marks visible behind the pigtail of the portrait (where 'P', 'D', or 'S' would typically be located), though the corrosion and wear may have obscured them. The strike appears standard for a business strike coin of this era, though the details are now flattened and distorted.
