Additional Description: The 1954 to 1956 U.S. Silver Quarters were minted during a period of postwar prosperity and cultural transformation in mid-century America. Struck in 90% silver and featuring John Flanagan’s enduring portrait of George Washington, these coins reflect a nation confident in its traditions yet rapidly modernizing. In circulation, they passed through the hands of a growing middle class, in an economy driven by suburban expansion, consumer goods, and the early stirrings of the Civil Rights Movement.
