Additional Description:  The 1945 and 1946 U.S. Silver Quarters were struck during a pivotal transition in American history, as the nation moved from the final months of World War II into the early stages of postwar recovery. Composed of 90% silver and featuring John Flanagan’s portrait of George Washington, these quarters continued a design first introduced in 1932 to honor the nation’s founding figure. The 1945 issue circulated heavily during a time of global conflict, while the 1946 quarter entered everyday use amid shifting domestic priorities and economic optimism.
