Description
The 1958 Washington Quarter is a quarter produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Washington Silver Quarters 1932-1964 series. With a mintage of 6.4 million, this is a less common issue — the scarcer of two mint variants, with 8% of total 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. Minted during the post-war economic boom, the final era of silver circulating coinage in the United States before the Coinage Act of 1965. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $19 to $34 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 #5864.
Rarity Notes
Mintage of 6,360,000 pieces. A moderately available issue, though gem examples (MS-65 and above) can be elusive due to the typically weak strikes and contact marks found on silver quarters of this era.
