The coin in question is a 1967 Washington Quarter, produced by the Philadelphia Mint, designated with the mint mark 'P.' As part of the iconic Washington Quarters series, this coin is a representation of the 25-cent denomination, commonly known as a quarter. Struck from a copper-nickel clad composition, the coin features a diameter of 24.3 mm and a weight of 5.67 grams. It belongs to a large mintage, with 1,524,031,848 pieces produced in that year, making it quite common in the collectibles market. The obverse of the coin showcases a portrait of George Washington, the first President of the United States, while the reverse typically displays an eagle with a shield, symbolizing strength and freedom. Given its production type, this quarter is a mint strike, meaning it was directly produced for general circulation. Despite its historical significance and representation of American currency, the 1967 Washington Quarter is not considered particularly rare, and its market value generally reflects that status. Collectors and numismatists often seek it out for the purpose of completing sets or appreciating its place in U.S. coinage history.
