The 1950 Washington Quarter is a prized piece for collectors, minted in the post-war era.
Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, it reflects the coinage standards of its time.
Mint marks 'D' for Denver, 'S' for San Francisco, and no mark for Philadelphia distinguish origin.
Uncirculated quarters can fetch high values, depending on condition and mint mark.
The 'S' mint mark is typically more valuable due to lower mintage numbers.
Condition grades range from Good to Mint State, with MS-65 and higher being most valuable.
Special features like double die or over mintmark (OMM) can significantly increase value.
Proof coins from 1950, with mirror-like finishes, are especially sought after by collectors.
Always verify authenticity and consult a professional for accurate appraisal of your coin.
Keep coins in protective cases to preserve condition and long-term value.
