Edge: Reeded · This type was originally intended to be a commemorative half-dollar issue celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. John Flannigan, a New York sculptor, was the designer of both the eagle reverse and the Washington bust which has been used until 2021. His initials, JF can be found at the truncation of the neck on the obverse. The mintmark is below the wreath until 1964. Mintmarks were not used in 1965-67, and in 1968 when they resumed, they moved to the obverse to the right of the ribbon tying Washington’s hair. The coin is the longest issue of any US quarter. It has six major groups, all based on the reverse of the coin (Washington’s left facing likeness on the obverse from the Flannagan sculpture is a constant until 2021): 1. Silver Eagle Reverse (1932 - 1964) – The last circulating 90% silver coins ran from 1932 – 1964. In 1965 to discourage collecting (hoarding) of coins, all circulating coinage discontinued mintmarks. The Quarter began using a 75% Copper, 25% Nickel outer layer with 100% Copper center. 2. Eagle Reverse Continued (1965 – 1998) – Beginning in 1968, mintmarks resumed, although they had moved to the obverse. The composition was 75% Copper 25% Nickel outer layer bonded to a pure copper core. The same composition was used for the Bicentennial issue. 3. Bicentennial Issue (1975-1976) – In October 1973, the Treasury announced an open contest for the selection of suitable designs for the Bicentennial reverses of the quarter, half-dollar and dollar coins. A prize of $5,000 was authorized for the winner of each design. Twelve semifinalists were chosen for each, and for the quarter, the symbolic entry of Jack L. Ahr was selected. It features a military drummer facing left, with a victory torch encircled by 13 stars a the upper left. Except for the dual dating 1776-1976, the obverse remained unchanged. Pieces with this dual dating were released in both 1975 and 1976. They were struck for general circulation and inclusion in mint and proof sets. Separate proof issues of 4,000,000 coins with an 80% silver plated outer layer (.209 Silver) were released for special sets which included the quarter, half-dollar and dollar. 4. State Quarter Series (1999-2008) – The US Mint’s 50 State Quarters series was begun in 1999 with a special design to represent each of the 50 States. State Quarters were released in order of their entry into the Union. Each State theme was proposed and approved by the Governor of the State. Final designs were created at the mint. Circulating coins were struck at the Philadelphia and Denver mints. Proof coins were made at the San Francisco mint. In 2009, following the release of the last State Quarters, the District of Columbia and US Territories quarters were released with a similar format in 2009. 5. America the Beautiful Series (2010 – 2021) – The popularity of the 50 State Quarters series was followed up by Congress authorizing a new circulating series of commemorative quarters from 2010 to 2021. They continued to use the obverse of Washington from Flannigan’s original design and had a series of reverses which honor a site of national or historic significance from each of the 50 States, five US Territories, and District of Columbia. Silver proofs which had been issued for the State Quarters in 90% silver were continued with this series, and in 2019 the composition was changed to .999 silver for the silver proofs. Five designs were released each year in the order of the coins’ featured locations. At the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Congressional authorized allowed for an extension of this series by an additional eleven years. 6.
