The 1968 Washington Quarter is a U.S. coin worth 25 cents, part of the Washington series minted from 1932.
This quarter is unique as it marks the first year minting at the San Francisco Mint with an 'S' mintmark.
Collectors seek the 1968-D (Denver) and 1968-S (San Francisco) quarters for their mint-specific characteristics.
The 1968 quarter's value can range from face value to over $100 for high-grade Mint State (MS) coins.
Special attention is given to the 1968-S Proof Quarter, known for its sharp details and mirror-like finish.
Error coins, such as double dies or off-center strikes, significantly increase the 1968 quarter's collectible value.
The composition is 75% copper and 25% nickel, clad over a pure copper center, weighing 5.67 grams.
Grading condition is key; 'Good' to 'Fine' are common, while 'Very Fine' to 'Mint' are highly prized.
For accurate valuation, consider factors like rarity, demand, and the coin's historical context.
