Description
The 1932 (D) Washington Quarter is a quarter produced at the Denver Mint as part of the Washington Silver Quarters 1932-1964 series. With a mintage of 436,800, this is an extremely rare issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 7% of production. The obverse features George Washington facing left, based on a 1786 bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon and the reverse displays an eagle perched on a bundle of arrows with olive branches below. First year of the Washington Quarter, a bicentennial commemorative that became permanent. The 1932-D (mintage 436,800) and 1932-S (mintage 408,000) are key dates. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $124 to $12K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 6.3 grams, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5791.
Rarity Notes
Key date with a very low mintage of only 436,800 pieces. This is one of the lowest-mintage issues in the entire Washington quarter series and commands substantial premiums in all grades. Even well-worn examples are highly sought after by collectors.
