United States 1981 Quarter Dollar USD Metal

Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Washington Quarter was first issued in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. It has since become an iconic symbol of American currency.

Artist backgroundJohn Flanagan, the designer of the Washington Quarter, was a prominent American sculptor who created numerous coins and medals during the early 20th century.

Minting historyThe 1981 quarter was minted primarily in Philadelphia and Denver, with the Denver mint being recognizable by the 'D' mint mark.

Value Fact

The value of the 1981 Washington Quarter is relatively modest, as it is common in circulation. However, certain factors can influence its market price. Coins in uncirculated condition or those with specific mint errors can command higher prices among collectors. The coin's historical significance and the iconic status of George Washington further enhance its appeal.

Coins that are well-preserved, especially those with unique minting characteristics, tend to attract greater interest from numismatists, making them more valuable in the collector's market.
