1953-S Washington Quarter, 90% Silver

A solid silver Washington quarter from the San Francisco Mint — one of the more desirable mint marks in the series. Both sides photograph well, with the eagle and lettering on the reverse coming through clearly. Details: - Date: 1953 - Mint Mark: S (San Francisco) - Denomination: Quarter Dollar - Series: Washington Quarter - Silver Content: 90% silver, pre-1965 (0.1808 troy oz pure silver) - Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper Circulated with moderate wear — design elements readable, high points softened from circulation. A nice, honest example of a pre-war silver quarter. The Washington quarter design was based on a 1786 bust of George Washington by sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon — the same source used for countless portraits of the first president.
