The 1974 Washington Quarter, produced at the Philadelphia Mint, is a 25-cent coin featuring George Washington on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse. This coin is part of the Washington Quarter series, which was first issued in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Washington's birth. The 1974 Philadelphia minting is distinguishable by the absence of a mintmark, as Philadelphia coins from that period were not marked. Collectors often focus on the condition, minting errors, and overall rarity of specific years and types, impacting their value in the market.
