Additional Description: The 1964 U.S. Silver Quarter holds a distinctive place in American numismatic history as the final circulating quarter struck in 90% silver. Bearing the familiar profile of George Washington—first introduced in 1932 to commemorate his bicentennial—the 1964 issue marked the end of an era just as the U.S. Mint prepared to remove silver from most circulating coinage. Rising silver prices and increasing production costs led to the passage of the Coinage Act of 1965, which shifted quarters to a clad composition of copper and nickel.
