About This Coin
The 1935 Washington Quarter is a United States quarter from the Washington Silver Quarters 1932-1964 series. In 1935, the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints struck 43,924,000 Washington quarters. 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. Struck during the Great Depression, when mintages dropped sharply and the United States abandoned the gold standard in 1933. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 6.25 grams, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Across its variants, estimated values range from $19 to $539 depending on mint mark, grade, and strike type. A notable auction result reached $21K in MS68 grade at Stack's Bowers. Designed by John Flanagan.
