The Washington Quarter series was introduced in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth.
The 1962-D Washington Quarter is part of the series minted from 1932 until 1998, featuring George Washington on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse.
The obverse design by John Flanagan depicts George Washington in profile. This design has been used on the quarter since its introduction in 1932.
The reverse design by Ralph J. Menconi features a bald eagle perched on a branch, holding an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other, symbolizing strength and peace.
The 1962-D Washington Quarter was minted at the Denver Mint, which is indicated by the “D” mintmark found on the reverse side of the coin, located to the right of the eagle.
The 1962-D Washington Quarter has a face value of 25 cents, but its collector value depends largely on its condition and rarity.
The 1962-D Washington Quarter can be found through coin shops, online auction sites, and coin dealers. You may also find it in circulation, though it's harder to find in high-grade or uncirculated condition.
The 1962-D Washington Quarter is not only a collector's item but also an investment, particularly if you’re focused on silver bullion coins.
