Collectible coins, particularly the United States Washington Quarter, are a popular segment among numismatists. The 1942 Washington Quarter minted in San Francisco (designated with the "S" mintmark) is notable for its production during World War II. It is part of a series that began in 1932, commemorating George Washington's 200th birthday, and features his portrait on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 1942 issue is often sought after due to its historical context and varying condition levels, impacting its market value significantly.
