Coin / United States of America / 1941 / Philadelphia / Washington Quarters / 25ยข (Twenty Five Cents, Quarter)

This 1941 Washington Quarter is an iconic piece of American numismatics, minted at the Philadelphia Mint and bearing the 'P' mint mark. It is a silver quarter made from a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper, which gives it a distinctive sheen and weight. Weighing in at 6.25 grams, this quarter measures 24.3 mm in diameter. With a substantial mintage of 79,032,000 coins, the 1941 Washington Quarter is not exceptionally rare, but its historical significance as part of the Washington Quarter series makes it a sought-after collectible for both novice and experienced numismatists. The design features a profile of George Washington on the obverse, symbolizing the birth of the nation, and an eagle on the reverse, representing freedom and strength. Despite its high mintage, factors such as grade, condition, and demand can influence its market value. Ideal specimens in uncirculated condition are highly desirable amongst collectors and can fetch a premium over face value, while pieces in circulated condition are typically valued closer to their intrinsic silver content.
