This coin is a 1955 Philadelphia Minted Washington Quarter, known for its distinguished design and historical significance. Struck as part of the Proof series, this quarter showcases the iconic image of George Washington on the obverse, reflecting the artistry typically associated with Proof coins. Weighing 6.25 grams and measuring 24.3 mm in diameter, the coin is composed of silver, embodying both beauty and intrinsic value. The 1955 Washington Quarter has a relatively low mintage of 378,200, which enhances its desirability among collectors and numismatists alike. Despite detailed specifications indicating a width and height of 0 (which typically wouldn’t apply), this quarter is notable for its stunning luster and well-defined features, characteristics that are a hallmark of Proof coins. As a quarter denomination, it represents a face value of 25 cents, yet its collectible value far exceeds that given the demand for well-preserved specimens from this era. This specific coin exemplifies the tradition of American coinage, making it not only a piece of currency but also a collectible artifact with potential historical significance and value.
