History of the 1937-D Washington Quarter

The 1937-D Washington Quarter was designed by John Flanagan to commemorate the 200th anniversary of first president George Washington’s birthday.

The majority of the 1937-D silver Washington Quarter coins in Mint State are well-struck and have a nice white and frosty luster. Cherrypicking is advised to find beautiful Gems on this date, and it is definitely possible to find them.
