United States Bicentennial Quarter (Obverse)

The item is a United States Bicentennial Quarter, specifically the obverse side of the coin. It features a left-facing profile of George Washington. The material is a clad composition, likely copper-nickel, giving it a silver-gray metallic appearance characteristic of U.S. quarters from this era. The coin's circular shape and reeded edge (though not clearly visible in this image) are standard for this denomination. Notable features include the inscription "LIBERTY" arching above Washington's head and "IN GOD WE TRUST" to his left. Below the bust, the dual dates "1776-1976" are prominently displayed, signifying the Bicentennial of the United States. While the general condition appears to be circulated, there are no immediate signs of severe damage such as bends or deep scratches. Minor wear on the raised surfaces, typical of a coin that has been in circulation, is discernible, particularly on Washington's hair and facial features, which show some loss of sharpness. There are no visible mint marks or other specific manufacturing details on this side of the coin in the provided image. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced coinage from the U.S. Mint during the Bicentennial period. The coin retains much of its original detail despite the apparent circulation. The surface shows some light scuffs and what appears to be a slight discoloration or toning in certain areas, likely due to environmental exposure over time.
