1932-D Washington Quarter
6.25 grams; .900 silver; 24.3 mm
"The Washington Quarter is a version of the U.S Quarter that has been minted since 1932, with the exception of 1933. The obverse has had two different designs. The first one was in mint from 1932-1998. A new design was put out in 1999 for the State Quarters. It was modified by William Cousins. The Washington Quarter that was minted from 1965-1998 is made up of the same metals as today's current Quarter. It also has the same size and weight. It is made of cupronickel (8.33% Ni and the balance Cu), weighs 5.670 grams (0.182 troy oz), has a diameter of 0.955 inches (24.26 mm), has a width of 1.75 millimeters (0.069 in), and has a reeded edge. Owing to the introduction of the clad quarter in 1965, it was occasionally called a Johnson Sandwich, after Lyndon B. Johnson, U.S. President at the time. It costs 4.29 cents to produce each coin. Before 1965, quarters contained 90% silver, 10% copper. The obverse of the coin has a bust of George Washington on it. It was designed by John Flanagan. It reads Liberty on the top, and In God We Trust to the left of Washington's head. The date of minting is found below Washington's neck. Since 1968, the mintmark appears just above and to the right of the date (D for Denver, S for San Francisco, and either P or none for Philadelphia). The reverse of the Washington Quarter was in circulation from 1932-1998. It features a bald eagle, a design by John Flanagan. It contains the mottoes In God We Trust and E Pluribus Unum, and the denomination written as quarter dollar. Prior to 1968, the mintmark appeared below the eagle's talons. The 50 State Quarters program was put into effect in 1999. Each state would get a design put on the reverse. The obverse was changed so that the date would go on the reverse. Five quarters are released every year through 2008. Legislation in 2007 extended the program to the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and America's territorial possessions; these six additional coins were released in 2009 . . ." — Washington Quarter (U.S.) at Wikipedia.
