The 1956 Washington Quarter is a collectible coin minted in Philadelphia, featuring a portrait of George Washington on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. As part of the 25-cent denomination series, these quarters are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, contributing to their appeal among numismatists. The Philadelphia mint mark is absent on these coins, making them distinguishable from their counterparts produced in Denver (D) or San Francisco (S). Collectors often seek high-grade specimens for their historical significance and silver content.
