The 1959 Washington Quarter is a piece of U.S. currency, minted in silver, and a collectible item today.
It features George Washington's profile on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, symbolizing liberty.
Quarters from 1959 were minted in Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D mint mark).
The coin's value varies based on condition, mint mark, and whether it's a rare error coin.
Circulated coins are common, worth slightly above face value, primarily for their silver content.
Uncirculated or proof coins can fetch higher prices, especially with high grading from services.
Special features like double die or rotated die errors can significantly increase a coin's value.
The 1959-D quarter with a 'mule' error, where the reverse is stamped with a dime's back, is highly prized.
Collectors often seek the 1959 quarter for its historical value and as part of a complete set.
To determine the exact value of your coin, consult a professional coin appraiser or grading service.
