1932 Washington Silver Quarter 25C NGC/PCGS MS 64

The 1932 Washington Silver Quarter 25C NGC/PCGS MS 64 marks the historic debut of one of America’s most enduring coin series. Struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, this quarter weighs 6.3 grams and contains 0.1823 troy ounces of pure silver. Issued with a face value of 25 cents, the coin features a left-facing portrait of George Washington on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. Certified Mint State 64 (MS 64) by NGC or PCGS, this example showcases strong luster, sharp details.

The 1932 Washington Quarter was introduced to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth. Originally intended as a one-year commemorative issue, the design proved so popular that it permanently replaced the Standing Liberty Quarter later that same year. Designed by sculptor John Flanagan, the coin reflects the neoclassical style popular in early 20th-century American coinage.

Notably, 1932 quarters were struck at three mints: Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S). The Denver and San Francisco issues are considered key dates in the series due to their significantly lower mintages, adding further collectible appeal to high-grade certified examples.
