Description
The 1941 Washington quarter was produced as the United States emerged from the Great Depression and approached the brink of World War II. John Flanagan's silver quarter design continued unchanged, featuring Washington's portrait after Houdon's 1785 bust on the obverse and the heraldic eagle reverse. This Philadelphia Mint issue carries no mint mark, following the convention for the principal mint facility. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 6.25 grams with a diameter of 24.3mm and a reeded edge.
Rarity Notes
High mintage of 79,032,000 pieces. Readily available in circulated and lower uncirculated grades. Well-struck gems with full luster remain desirable despite the large production run.
