This listing is for one 1953-S Washington Quarter from the San Francisco mint, as pictured. Choose by grade.
Washington silver quarters ran from 1932 - 1964 and the design remained the same for decades after the switch from silver to clad.
As the United States prepared to celebrate the 1932 bicentennial of the birth of its first president, George Washington, members of the bicentennial committee established by Congress sought a Washington half dollar. They wanted to displace for that year only the regular issue Walking Liberty half dollar; instead Congress permanently replaced the Standing Liberty quarter, requiring that a depiction of Washington appear on the obverse of the new coin.
