Description
The 1954 Washington quarter was struck during the 1950s, a period of economic expansion and suburban growth that fueled demand for circulating coinage. The series continued with Flanagan's original design, now well into its second decade of production, featuring Washington's Houdon bust obverse and 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 54,412,203 pieces. Readily available in circulated and lower uncirculated grades. Well-struck gems with full luster remain desirable despite the large production run.
