1966 Washington Quarter Dollar
This is a United States 1966 Washington Quarter Dollar coin, composed of a copper-nickel clad over a pure copper core. The coin features the standard obverse design by John Flanagan, depicting the left-facing profile of George Washington. Above the bust is the word 'LIBERTY,' and to the left is the national motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST.' The year '1966' is stamped clearly at the base. Physically, the coin is approximately 24.26 mm in diameter and exhibits a circulated condition. The silver-colored exterior shows notable signs of wear, particularly on the higher relief areas of Washington's hair and facial features, which have flattened over time. There are numerous small scratches, surface abrasions, and minor dings consistent with its heavy use in commerce. The strike appears standard for the era, without any obvious minting errors visible from the obverse. No mint mark is present, which is correct for 1966 as the U.S. Mint omitted them on all coinage from 1965 to 1967 (Special Mint Sets notwithstanding). The overall patina is a dull, matte greyish-silver typical of a circulated copper-nickel alloy, with no significant oxidation or deep gouges that would further degrade its grade beyond a standard 'Fine' to 'Very Fine' circulated state.
