The quarter, brusque for quarter dollar, is a United States coin worth 25 cents, 1-quarter of a dollar. The coin sports the contour of George Washington on its obverse, and after 1998 its opposite pattern has changed often. It has been produced on and off since 1796 and consistently since 1831.[1]

It has a diameter of 0.955 inch (24.26 mm) and a thickness of 0.069 inch (ane.75 mm). Its current version is composed of two layers of cupronickel (75% copper, 25% nickel) clad on a core of pure copper. [two] With the cupronickel layers comprising 1/3 of total weight, the money'south overall composition is therefore 8.33% nickel, 91.67% copper. Its weight is 5.670 grams (0.1823 troy oz, or 0.2000 avoirdupois oz).

Designs before 1932 [edit]

The choice of a quarter-dollar every bit a denomination—equally opposed to the i5 more common elsewhere—originated with the practise of dividing Spanish milled dollars into eight wedge-shaped segments, which gave rise to the name "piece of eight" for that money.[3] "Two $.25" (that is, two eighths of a piece of eight) is a common nickname for a quarter.

From 1796 the quarter was minted with vi.739 g of 89.24% fine silverish (6.014 yard fine argent), revised to ninety% fine silverish from 1838 to 1964. It weighed vi.682 g from 1838, 6.22 thousand from 1853, and 6.25 g from 1873 to 1964. Six designs, five regular and one commemorative, have been issued until 1930:

The obverse depicted George Washington facing left, with "Liberty" to a higher place the caput, the date below, and "In God Nosotros Trust" in the left field. The opposite depicted an hawkeye with wings outspread perches on a bundle of arrows framed below by 2 olive branches.

It was minted in 6.25 g of 90% fine silver until 1964, when ascent silver prices forced the change into the present-day cupronickel-clad-copper limerick, which was besides called the "Johnson Sandwich" after then-president Lyndon B. Johnson. [13] As of 2011, information technology cost 11.14 cents to produce each coin. [xiv]

US states and territories quarters, 1999–2009 [edit]

In 1999, the 50 Country quarters program of circulating commemorative quarters began. These take a modified Washington obverse and a different contrary for each state, ending the former Washington quarter'southward production completely.[17] On January 23, 2007, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 392 extending the state quarter program one year to 2009, to include the District of Columbia and the five inhabited United states of america territories: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the The states Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The bill passed through the Senate, and was signed into legislation by President George West. Bush-league as part of Pub.50. 110–161: the Consolidated Appropriations Deed (text) (PDF), on December 27, 2007.[18] [19] The typeface used in the state quarter series varies a chip from one state to another, but is generally derived from Albertus.[ commendation needed ]

America the Cute quarters, 2010–2021 [edit]

On June 4, 2008, a bill titled America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Money Act of 2008, H.R. 6184, was introduced to the Business firm of Representatives. On December 23, 2008, President Bush signed the bill into law as Pub.L. 110–456 (text) (PDF). The America the Beautiful quarters program began in 2010 and ended in 2021, lasting 12 years.[20]

2021: Return of the original obverse, new legislation [edit]

Following the conclusion of the National Parks quarter series in 2021, Treasury Secretarial assistant Steven Mnuchin had the option of ordering a second circular of 56 national parks quarters, just did not do so by the cease of 2018 equally required in the 2008 legislation.

The quarter'south design for 2021 therefore reverted to Flanagan's original obverse design, paired with a new reverse rendition of Washington crossing the Delaware River on the night of December 25, 1776. In Oct 2019, the Citizens Coinage Informational Commission (CCAC) met to consider designs, with the terminal option made by Mnuchin.[21] On Dec 25, 2020, the Mint announced the successful design, by Benjamin Sowards as sculpted by Michael Gaudioso. This quarter was released into circulation on April five, 2021, and would be minted until the stop of 2021.[22]

The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Human activity of 2020 (Pub.50. 116–330 (text) (PDF)) established three new series of quarters for the next decade. From 2022 to 2025, the Mint may produce upwards to five coins each year featuring prominent American women, with a new obverse design of Washington. In 2026, there will exist up to five designs representing the United states Semiquincentennial. From 2027 to 2030, the Mint may produce upwardly to five coins each year featuring youth sports. The obverse will also be redesigned in 2027, and fifty-fifty after 2030 is still to depict Washington.[23]

American Women Quarters [edit]

The American Women Quarters volition outcome up to v new reverse designs each yr from 2022–2025 featuring the accomplishments and contributions made in various fields past women to American history and evolution. The obverse will feature Laura Gardin Fraser's portrait of George Washington originally intended for the outset Washington quarter in 1932.[24]

Five honorees have been chosen to appear on the reverse design in 2022: Maya Angelou,[25] Sally Ride, Wilma Mankiller, Adelina Otero-Warren, and Anna May Wong.[26]

Collecting silverish Washington quarters [edit]

The "silver series" of Washington quarters spans from 1932 to 1964; during many years in the series it will appear that certain mints did not mint Washington quarters for that twelvemonth. No known examples of quarters were made in 1933, San Francisco abstained in 1934 and 1949, and stopped after 1955, until it resumed in 1968 by way of making proofs. Denver did not make quarters in 1938. Proof examples from 1936 to 1942 and 1950 to 1967 were struck at the Philadelphia Mint; in 1968, proof product was shifted to the San Francisco Mint. The current rarities for the Washington quarter "silver series" are:

Branch mintmarks are D = Denver, S = San Francisco. Coins without mintmarks were all made at the master Mint in Philadelphia. This listing is for business strikes, not proofs:

  • 1932-D
  • 1932-Southward
  • 1934 – with Doubled Die Obverse (DDO)
  • 1935-D
  • 1936-D
  • 1937 – with Doubled Die Obverse (DDO)
  • 1937-S
  • 1938-S
  • 1939-South
  • 1940-D
  • 1942-D – with Doubled Die Obverse (DDO)
  • 1943 – with Doubled Die Obverse (DDO)
  • 1943-S – with Doubled Die Obverse (DDO)
  • 1950-D/South Over mintmark (money is a 1950-D, with underlying Due south mintmark)
  • 1950-Southward/D Over mintmark (coin is a 1950-S, with underlying D mintmark)

The 1940-D, 1936-D and the 1935-D coins, likewise as many others in the series, are considerably more valuable than other quarters. This is not due to their mintages, merely rather because they are harder to find in loftier grades (a state of affairs referred to as "condition rarity"). Many of these coins are worth only melt value in low grades. Other coins in the above list are expensive because of their extremely low mintages, such equally the 1932 Denver and San Francisco issues. The overstruck mintmark problems are also deficient and expensive, specially in the college grades; all the same they may not have the same popularity as overdates found in pre-Washington quarter series.

The 1934 Philadelphia strike appears in two versions: i with a calorie-free motto [for "In God We Trust"], which is the same as that used on the 1932 strikings, and the other a heavy motto seen after the dies were reworked. Except in the highest grades, the difference in value between the two is minor.

The mint mark on the coin is located on the reverse beneath the wreath on which the hawkeye is perched, and will either acquit the mint mark "D" for the Denver Mint, "S" for the San Francisco Mint, or be blank if minted at the Philadelphia Mint.

Collecting clad Washington quarters [edit]

The copper-nickel clad Washington quarter was outset issued in 1965 and as office of the switch, the Denver mintmark was added in 1968, which did non reappear on any United states coin denomination until 1968. For the first three years of clad production, in lieu of proof sets, specimen sets were particularly sold as "Special Mint Sets" minted at the San Francisco mint in 1965, 1966, and 1967 (Deep Cameo versions of these coins are highly valued because of their rarity).

Currently, there are few examples in the clad series that are valued every bit highly as the silver series but there are certain extraordinary dates or variations. The deep cameo versions of proofs from 1965 to 1971 and 1981 Type ii are highly valued because of their scarcity, high form examples of quarters from sure years of the 1980s (such as 1981–1987) because of scarcity in high grades due to high circulation and in 1982 and 1983 no mint sets were produced making it harder to find mint state examples, and whatever coin from 1981–1994 graded in MS67 is worth up of $g.

The mint marking on the coin is currently located on the obverse at the bottom correct hemisphere under the supposed date. In 1965–1967 cupro-nickel coins diameter no mint mark; quarters minted in 1968–1979 were stamped with a "D" for the Denver mint, an "Due south" for the San Francisco mint (proof coins just), or blank for Philadelphia. Starting in 1980, the Philadelphia mint was allowed to add together its mint mark to all coins except the one-cent piece. Twenty-five-cent pieces minted from 1980 onwards are stamped with "P" for the Philadelphia mint, "D" for the Denver mint, or "S" for San Francisco mint.

Until 2012 the "S" mint mark was used only on proof coins, just offset with the El Yunque (Puerto Rico) design in the America the Beautiful quarters program, the US Mint began selling (at a premium) uncirculated 40-coin rolls and 100-money bags of quarters with the San Francisco mint marking. These coins were not included in the 2012 or later uncirculated sets or the three-coin ATB quarter sets (which consisted of an uncirculated "P" and "D" and proof "S" specimen) and no "S" mint-marked quarters are being released into apportionment, so that mintages will exist determined solely by direct need for the "S" mint-marked coins.

In 2019, the W Point Mint released 2 million of each of the five designs that year with a "Westward" mint mark for full general circulation, in a move intended to spur coin collecting.[27] This was continued in 2020.[28]
