Description
The 1964 (D) Washington Quarter is a quarter produced at the Denver Mint as part of the Washington Silver Quarters 1932-1964 series. The U.S. Mint produced 704.1 million examples, making this the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 56% 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. Final year of 90% silver composition. Massive mintages as the public hoarded silver coins before the transition to clad. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $19 to $30 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 #5877.
Rarity Notes
High mintage of 704,135,528 pieces. Readily available in circulated and lower uncirculated grades. Well-struck gems with full luster remain desirable despite the large production run.
