1954-S Washington Quarter

The 1954-S Washington Quarter had just over 10 million total coins minted at the San Francisco Mint. This coin is possible to find in the highest, uncirculated grades, and is readily available in higher Mint State coins due to its low mintage. Lower mintages were often saved in rolls right away, allowing for many to remain in good condition rather than going out into circulation. The 1954-S Washington Quarter is a relatively affordable coin in its highest grades, and is about mid-range between the most expensive and most affordable of the Washington Quarter series.

History of the 1954-S Washington Quarter

The 1954-S Washington Quarter is an accessible and relatively easy coin to find compared to the other coins minted in this year. The Washington Quarter was designed by John Flanagan to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birthday. It features a portrait of Washington on the obverse of the coin, and an American Bald Eagle with wings spread wide, clutching a bundle of arrows and hovering over an olive branch on the reverse. The 1954-S Washington Quarter is a valuable coin to add to any Washington Quarter series collection, and it’s possible to find attractive coins that are nicely toned.
