Additional Description:  The U.S. Silver Quarters of 1961 and 1962 belong to the final years of traditional American silver coinage, struck in 90% silver during a period of economic stability just before the shift to clad coinage in 1965. Featuring John Flanagan’s enduring portrait of George Washington on the obverse—a design introduced in 1932—these quarters reflect both continuity and craftsmanship. The reverse, with its heraldic eagle perched on a bundle of arrows above olive branches, conveys a balance of strength and peace characteristic of mid-20th-century American symbolism.
