The coin in question is a 1970 Washington Quarter minted in Philadelphia, denoted by the 'P' mint mark. This quarter, with a denomination of 25 cents, is part of the Washington Quarters series, which commemorates George Washington, the first President of the United States. Produced as a Mint Strike, this coin features the standard composition of copper-nickel clad copper, resulting in a weight of 5.67 grams and a diameter of 24.3 millimeters. The quarter's impressive production run saw a total mintage of 136,420,000 pieces, making it relatively common among collectors. Although it has no specific height or width measurements listed, its thickness can be assumed to conform to standard quarter specifications. The absence of significant wear may contribute to its appeal within the collectible market, as uncirculated or higher grade specimens may command a higher value. However, due to its high mintage, even in excellent condition, its market value generally remains modest. As part of the United States currency system, this 1970 Washington Quarter reflects the enduring legacy of American history and numismatic tradition, making it a staple in any coin collection.
