Description
This listing is for one 1955-D Washington Quarter, as pictured. "D" Mint mark, denoting the Denver Mint. Uncirculated. Washington Quarter History: As the United States prepared to celebrate the 1932 bicentennial of the birth of its first president, George Washington, members of the bicentennial committee established by Congress sought a Washington half dollar. They wanted to displace the Walking Liberty half dollar; instead Congress permanently replaced the Standing Liberty quarter, requiring that a depiction of Washington appear on the obverse of the new coin. The new silver quarters entered circulation on August 1, 1932, & continued to be struck in silver until the Mint transitioned to copper-nickel clad coinage in 1965. A special reverse commemorating the United States Bicentennial was used in 1975 & 1976, with all pieces bearing the double date 1776-1976; there are no 1975-dated quarters. Thanks for stopping by!
