Additional Description: The 1953 and 1954 U.S. Silver Quarters were minted during a period of growing postwar prosperity and confidence in mid-century America. Struck in 90% silver and bearing John Flanagan’s familiar portrait of George Washington, these coins continued the design tradition begun in 1932, offering both visual consistency and tangible value. In circulation, they were part of everyday economic life—passed in markets, gas stations, and diners during a time when the nation was expanding its highways, suburbs, and global influence.
