Washington Quarters are 25-cent coins that feature a design of George Washington on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, initially introduced in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Washington's birth. The 1979 Philadelphia mint quarter is a part of the standard Washington Quarter series, struck at the Philadelphia Mint without a mint mark. Collectors often seek specific years and mint marks, making the 1979 Philadelphia Washington Quarter a relevant piece for numismatic interests within American coinage.
