US Washington Quarter Coin

The item is a United States quarter dollar coin, commonly known as a quarter. It appears to be made of a silver-colored metallic alloy, consistent with the standard clad composition (copper-nickel outer layers over a pure copper core) used for US quarters since 1965, or potentially older, silver coinage, though the latter is less likely given the visible wear and typical appearance. The coin is circular with a reeded edge, though the reeding is not clearly visible in the provided image. The obverse side is depicted, featuring the left-facing bust of George Washington, a design element established in 1932. Visible inscriptions above Washington's head include "LIBERTY," and a partial date below his chin, though the full year is obscured by wear or image resolution. The motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is also partially discernible to the left of Washington. The coin exhibits a visibly aged patina with areas appearing darker, suggesting natural oxidation and accumulation of dirt over time. There are signs of general circulation wear, including softened details on Washington's portrait, particularly on the hair and facial features, and some loss of crispness in the lettering. There are no obvious deep scratches, dents, or significant damage that would indicate post-minting alteration, although finer details are difficult to ascertain from the image quality. The overall condition suggests a typical circulated example rather than an uncirculated or highly collectible specimen. The craftsmanship is that of standard US Mint production.
