The 1962 Washington Quarter, produced in Philadelphia, is a quarter that features the obverse design of George Washington and the reverse design of an eagle resting on a rocky outcrop. This coin is part of the silver quarter series, as it is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, making it collectible for both numismatists and silver investors. In addition to its intrinsic silver value, collectors often seek the 1962 issue for its historical significance and the relatively high mintage figures compared to other years in the series.
