You have a 1954 Washington Quarter minted in Philadelphia, designated with the mint mark 'P'. This coin is part of the Washington Quarters series and is classified as a proof coin, which means it was produced with higher quality strikes and finishes intended for collectors. It features a diameter of 24.3 mm and weighs 6.25 grams, composed primarily of silver. The 1954 Washington Quarter has a mintage of only 233,300 pieces, making it relatively scarce compared to other years in the series. The obverse displays a portrait of George Washington, while the reverse features an eagle atop a heraldic shield, indicative of American ideals. This quarter is valued not just for its denomination of 25 cents, but also for its historical significance and collectible appeal. Given its proof status and lower mintage, it may command a premium in the coin market, especially in high grades. As a piece of American numismatic history, this coin represents both artistry and craftsmanship from the mid-20th century.
